I miss the worm count icon

xenithI am making progress on the Big, Scary Thing. I'm counting scene rather than words. Word count will change but scene counts should remain the same. Also, 77 isn't as scary a goal as 100,000. Possibly I should call it something else, but "Big, Scary Thing" is better than "New Folder".
I am being seriously distracted by a very silly ghost story though. Last November, I expected my Nanowrimo project to come in short. I wanted it to come in at about 35K. So to make up the difference and get rid of an idea that had been bothering me since my trip to Victoria the previous July, I wrote this ghost story. Just after the 50K (for both WIPs) mark, the cast were about to head off to Melbourne so I told them "I can't write the next bit until I've been to Melbourne again". They agreed, and we find a nice spot to end. Of course, at the time, any trips to Melbourne were vague ideas that might happen sometimes in the unforseeable future. Now that trip to Melbourne is at the end of this month. You can probably guess the rest.
I am not going to the gaol though. No way.
I wonder if they'd be happy with northern England instead?
