It didn't quite fit to tag this onto the end of the previous post. I had nothing planned this weekend, apart from the usual swimming and cleaning. So I planned (hoped?) to finish the first draft to the sequel of Dream a Little Dream. The long sequel, as opposed to a short sequel. The original had 10,000 words in the first draft and 17,000 in the final. My first drafts are always a rush to get the plot out - I have to go back and add the description. And in some cases, attempt to work out who is saying what.

So today I wrote 3000 words over the course of the day and finished the first draft. It currently stands at 14,500 words. So once it's done it will surpass the original as the longest thing I've ever written. And I'm planning to try and get it done by the end of August - the ending ties into SJA and assuming it doesn't get cut in the rewriting & editing process, I don't want to get jossed, if possible.

Today, I also cleaned, tidied, put some stuff on DVD and CD, made flapjacks and did the washing. So tomorrow I just have to swim, shop and make muffins. Monday I'll be making bread, and since I made flapjacks on Thursday and chocolate rice krispie cakes I'll have plenty of food.

Tomorrow I plan to spend my afternoon continuing to work my way through the First Doctor. And the Fourth if I get bored of the First.
