I'm really enjoying the results of this challenge, even if I do suffer from tawek's house chores thing. It's the prospect of having to get started that does that - once I'm writing it's great.
Current total word count is 4144 - but in truth that isn't the 800 new words it sounds like. My plan called for scene 5 to open with a "vision" - a bit like a dream scene vignette - and it happened I had several lying around from ages ago. They all need to go in somewhere, but since they aren't part of either of the main plot lines as such the order isn't too clearly defined. As it happened, one of the pile suited this point in the narrative.
However, each of these vision scenes is followed by the protagonist's reaction, which I did not have prepared! So I've just written 426 words of that.
