Day 9: I uh... spent an hour on writing-related things? I didn't end up printing anything out but skimmed through the section from the beginning to figure out what new bits had been copied over to the main document and what other bits I hadn't gotten to yet. Moved a few things over, the "how do I splice these two bits" question in one area resolved itself more easily than I thought it would, with moving a sentence here and typing up a few other sentences there. Then I realized that page 50 of the section (yes, if I ever finish this novel it's going to be Long, the first section was 53 pages, this is section two, we're barely started, I will probably end up cutting a fuckton at some point) might be a decent stopping place rather than the place about 25 pages later that still needs wrangling with a bonus that I could send it off to the cheerleaders earlier. I might make them vote.
You are speaking the language of my people when you bewail how shorter things turn into novels, as that is definitely my Modus Operandi to date. Your approach is sound--writing it all down and worrying about the cutting later. Good luck with it all! :-)
