I think actual writers involve more pacing around.

The one bright spot in my weekend: spending several hours stranded in a hotel room with a laptop.

Words without notes: 119,955 (-5770) ...there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that.
With notes: 135,733 (15,778 of notes, +7,745)
Pages: 261 (+4)

Realizing that several later scenes needed a major overhaul, I moved them into the notes section and prepared to rewrite them. At the beginning of the weekend, the without-notes count was 117,743. It's still only up 2,212, but that includes a couple of new scenes (4 of 5 intro scenes are now done, for one thing).

In total, this is not as bad as it looks. I'm on a mission to fix the scenes that have become obsolete because of changes earlier in the story. This involves getting rid of vast swaths of outdated stuff.

Blah blah blah. I hope it won't be as hard to get back into gear (life gear, not story gear) as I fear it will be. Being miserable for several days takes it out of you.
