Day something of breaking a habit

butterflydreamingIt's NaNoWriMo, and I'm really feeling the need to chat in the channel and see what's stirring in #writercafe. Instead, I'm here, to say I have written 1300 words of actual story, plus a few hundred words for a later scene that is scheduled for day 5. But the scene I wrote today is day 4's. I do what I want. This is the most heavily outlined and story clocked work I have ever done. I broke the beats out of the clock to 10 sections, each with three parts.
I am still going to produce another 300 words within this scene. I passed 1k, so this is my pie and coffee break. I would love to get another 700, and I probably could with more sensory detail, but this is an action story and I can't learn into wordy description that doesn't move the story forward. I can, however, get away with some for mood.
One thing I noticed: this is fanfic based on a movie, so when I story clocked the AU/fusion, I saw how structured the professional work is. And that was really cool.
I'm excited about my story. It has a stolen skeleton and flesh from someone else's world, but it's a pretty monster.
