Win!

Get me. After a mini-marathon session on Wild last night and this morning, I'm now officially over a quarter of the way through the redraft. Only 60k-ish words to go! I think it will definitely need a third sweep though. Up until this weekend, I had a long scene where Lizzie goes to buy drugs from a woman who turns out to be Harris' bit on the side. The scene and the woman have major implications for the rest of the plot ... and now they're gone. I have a choice of cutting the woman out of the entire novel, or finding some other way to layer in Harris' affair. And I can't possibly make those kind of decisions at this stage because I'm too busy cramming other shiny exciting things into the plot.

So:

Chapters revised: Twelve, if we discount the amount of chapter-splicing I've been doing. Fourteen if we don't.
Number of people Lizzie has hit in the face since I last did this: Three.
Number of people who have hit her back: One.
Levels of ominous foreboding: Through the roof. I'm past the point of foreboding. Now it's just regular boding.
