Summer Update
For what seems like an age, Jen has been writing new stubs while Kent continued with prose composition. (That’s one huge advantage to having a writing partner, the two-pronged attack.) In reality it’s only been a couple of weeks, and she got about 24 of them done. They normally go faster, but this part of the outline was a bit scattered and she had to find ways to consolidate, so that we didn’t end up with twice that many scenes. Now we’re set up nicely for our next big push.
With both of us working (and with Stranger Things 3, Veronica Mars, and Archer all used up, leaving only Legion, What We Do in the Shadows, and Harvey Birdman in our current rotation) we ought to be able to advance well into enemy territory this month.
Kent’s solo efforts recently pushed the manuscript total over 80,000 words, and if we’re dedicated we ought to be able to top 100,00 by September. Stop laughing, it could happen.
Having a writing partner means having someone to share the load, someone to binge quality TV with, and, in our case, someone to help when it’s time to move your kid for grad school.
