Current big bang word count: 66,265.
I guess it'll end up around 75,000 words this time. A lot of the re-writing so far has been cutting and pasting old stuff, with some additional scenes, but now I'm into the bit that actually requires me to write it from scratch. And action as well - I'm not good at action scenes.
The biggest problem, actually, is keeping the minor stuff straight. I keep having to read back to figure out if what I'm referring to has actually happened in this version, or if I cut it. Or, worse, if I'm still using it, but later on. I've got zero ability to remember the details of my own plot at this point. It's a problem.
