I wrote 100 words today, bringing ch. 17 to 1,325.
Unfortunately I hate all of them, and I think tomorrow I will rip up most of what I've written for scene two and start over much closer to the actual point of the scene. Pacing is still a thing, and if I'm boring myself, I'm pretty sure the resulting words are going to bore readers as well.
(Also, it is annoyingly difficult to research wagon braking systems. Like, okay, there is often a lever on the front left of the wagon which does a thing to the wheels -- well obviously; that what a brake is -- but I have yet to find a useful mechanical diagram, goddammit, and I want one. Maybe if I try an image search instead of a text search...)
