A fairly woeful 3,372 words in a whole week... the period since we began this challenge has probably been my least productive time since I began the novel in the middle of July.
By my reckoning, I'll have to do 12,000 words a week to finish by the end of October, which isn't beyond the realm of reasonable possibility. I did spend the weekend planning out some of the later chapters in more detail and having to do some research on Otherkin and Straight Edgers, but that's no excuse for a poor wordcount.
As you complained in an earlier post, Chaz, I've found myself making the last couple of chapters far more talky than I wanted to, so I've tried to rectify things by having a bloody big explosion at the end of the current chapter (twelve) to liven things up somewhat.
Did we decide on a prize for this wager? Perhaps the winner has to either a) let the other read their manuscript or b) read the other's manuscript. Or that could be the loser's forfeit, depending on your point of view...
