Continuing with Four Red Spots - 71K

I hit the 70K mark yesterday on Four Red Spots; despite waking up late and only doing 750 words first then, then a bad day at work, I managed to hammer out a few more in the evening. Got it up to 71K this morning before spending the rest of the day working on blogging stuff (some writing, some brainstorming, lots of networking/marketing type things.)

I'm becoming more and more convinced that chick lit isn't really my genre. I'm struggling to make it interesting; I think the characters carry the story fairly well, but the scenes all seem a litle flat and frankly somewhat pointless. I'm itching to start work on the Big Novel, the project that's been simmering and simmering away for a year now ... but I also want to get Four Red Spots finished. Still, at this rate, should be done by Easter. Another 29K to go...
