Kekropia, this morning: 140 words, 120 of which were the end of Chapter 7, and 20 of which were the beginning of Chapter 8.

Chapter 7 clocks in at: 11,576 words

Which puts Kekropia as a whole at: 102,658 (plus 20 words in Chapter 8).

Verdict: Cumulative wow.

the thing about being a writer is ...

You always have scrap paper.

I've currently got all the things I know about the rest of Kekropia on pieces of paper spread out across the living room floor, and am taping together (with heres_luck's scotch tape) the pieces that have a narrative (horizontal lines) or thematic connection (vertical lines).

I'm not sure how much it's doing for the book, but I'm very much afraid I'm inventing a new kind of abstract art.
