ysilme: Hooray for solving the thing! And yeah, sometimes you just have to cut things that no longer work in the story. I like to lovingly put them in another document to admire later, or sometimes if I'm especially proud of them (and are not keeping secrets), I'll share them on tumblr so we can all admire it together.

sylvanwitch: Hooray, look at all the progress you're making! And my god, but you have been adulting like a boss! (Do bosses do much adulting? I am unsure. My wife suggests "adulting like a border collie," which at least speaks to the sheer amount of work you've been doing, as well as your dedication to accomplishing it!)

Jul 14: A little time rewriting yesterday's words to make them better (while I stall on actually moving forward until I've thought about it more), and then time this evening spent betaing a friend's story. (Betaing counts, right?)
