Word count: I know that I’ll edit this…

I began today’s writing knowing that I would likely edit it heavily, if not delete it entirely.

I’ll try to explain briefly. My characters are on a journey, and there are three stops on this journey. And I’ve described all three stops! I know that describing all three stops is unnecessary, and slows the momentum of the story. But which scene of the three do I eliminate?

I don’t know.

And I don’t think I’ll know until I write all three scenes, and see which one advances the plot most effectively. AND writing that third scene allowed me to reach my word count today. Winning.

Unrelated: I wrote an update email for another project, and I’m really proud of the final communication. Probably more proud than is reasonable for an email. Whatever. I can be proud of whatever I want.
