Unexpected turn...

I added another 1200 words, but I lost 1500 words. However, I'm not beating myself up over that. I took those 1500 words and slipped them into a short story I have in mind. The scene simply no longer fit the current WIP. Rather than try to force it in, I'm letting it go. Once again, I wondered if I could possibly find all the words I needed to add to meet my goal. Little by little, they appeared, and then suddenly there were more. It occurred to me, today, that this WIP is one-third done. A part of me wonders, "How did that happen?" But I know: One word at a time. Thanks God for all the encouragement.
