This lunchtime, I've drafted a story flowchart, which I don't normally do. I have it all mapped out in my head, but seldom put it on paper, but with only two months left (which sounds much longer than 8 weeks), I wanted to see if my guesstimate as to where I was compared to where I want to be was accurate. I'd estimated I was maybe a quarter of the way there.
My scene breakdown has 22 'scenes'. I've written 2. My fic is already 18k long.
Oops.
Admittedly, one of the two scenes is very long. It sets the scene, introducing the characters, forming a connection between them and bringing in future plot points. On its own, that scene is 12,500 words and hopefully none of the other scenes will be that long. Even so.
I suspect I'm going to have to up my daily word count target from 1,000 words ::g::
ETA: since I'm trying to get this to cross post to LJ now it seems up again - yesterday's word count got me to 20,500 and three scenes down!
