Day 3: I'm writing the last 30,000 words of a 80,000 word book, and I am so far off my outline now that I'm not sure about this book at all. (goes back and makes minor changes to book).
Day 3: I deleted some of the more hokey parts that had developed. My problem is that I loved Agatha Christie's The Seven Dials Mystery, where seven sleuthing young adults in a secret society solve a murder. I had created a secret society myself of Prodigies protecting the wider band of Prodigies, complete with name and emblem. Too hokey for me, and thus I've lost a thousand words of progress.
However I'm one day ahead of writing, so I'm not really panicked. It's just part of the process.
