matthew Bourne obsession achieved, argh my nano needs editing. and will it get on witht eh action?

:pokes nano: look, I'm trying to get on with the action, and the omniscient pov starts musing on the nature of being/the appearance of streets in central London! stoppit! I'm trying to get Jack to find out that Torchwood London lost the glove just before he came back to England so he can bugger off and meet up with Professor Jones Jr. Seriously. I'm at over 23,000 - nearly half way through the word limit - and I'm really kinda wishing I could go back and delete a bunch of overly convoluted stuff from the beginning, where I was being wordy and almost repeating myself for the sake of it because I was having to force myself to write. And I know that bit's probably exceedingly boring to read. Oh well. Can always edit post-nano. Or just before the end of the month.

:sigh: the problems of writing linearly. Because if I don't write linearly (start to finish rather than writing one scene here and one scene there for later insertion) I screw up my word count and don't get to expand on bits as I go (nothing like a character who had one mention in a later bit suddenly developing a personality when you're writing a scene that takes place earlier in the book). Hence why I write detailed notes if I have ideas rather than whole chunks, plus it's easier to expand detailed notes than it is whole chunks of text. Dammit.
