Okay, up to 5,118 words today, but mostly by cheat­ing. Ghost Ronin is orga­nized as a playlist. Each chap­ter starts with the lyrics for the song it’s based around. So today I pasted in the lyrics for each song. I also write 28 whole words of new mate­r­ial so I’m not a com­plete weasel.

Okay, I’m a com­plete weasel.

But I learned some amaz­ing stuff while I was avoid­ing writ­ing. I found out how to cre­ate a mas­ter doc­u­ment and link sub doc­u­ments to it (like each chap­ter in say, a book), I found out why this doesn’t actu­ally work (seemed to work at first, then some­how just turned into a hyper­link), I moved all the story notes I’d been keep­ing in Word into OneNote.

So tomor­row, real writ­ing. Hope­fully, I’ll even fin­ish chap­ter one and kill off my main character.
