Day 22
Woke up with all sorts of thoughts and ideas for the novel, and then spent hours writing notes to myself and did some more thinking (I didn’t track the amount of time this took, but it was hours). Did write at the end of the day so I could continue the writing streak (such as it is).

Day 23
All right, time to go back to the beginning and start fixing things so that the story is starting to gel and come together. Went back and cleaned chapters 1 through 10. Note to self: putter, and keep breathing.

Day 24
And the cleaning continues. Got through chapters 11 through 13, and then started having to write new chapters to fill in gaps (I think I wrote the first third of the novel, and part of the final third, so this is filling in the middle third). Overall, it is slow going, but it feels solid.
