July 20 - 26

Didn't quite make my total this week: 3500 words.

However, I have a very productive time in plotting out the sequel's overall story line.  I had a plot line before I got started, but something about it didn't feel right.  It gritted against my creative instincts, like sandpaper.  So I spent one of my writing periods ripping it apart and putting it back together again.

Now I feel like I have a plot I can be excited about, not one I'm dreading having to fix later.

I'm also starting to suspect that I have too many characters and I'm going to have to trim the field a little.  A few of them can be combined without issue but I'm a little sad to lose some interesting backstories.
