I haven't written since the 3rd.
Uh-oh.
I've thought about my story and my characters a lot over the past week, but I've been away from home and therefore have not had the means to continue writing. I don't have a laptop and handwriting is slow and painstaking at my grandparent's house.
So, over the next few days I am going to write as much as possible and try to catch up. Trouble is, I'm headed back down to the grandfolks' place next week.
Ahhh!
Also, I'm beginning to fall in love with a character that I don't think is going to live through this story. Can you guys remain dispassionate about your characters? Even though mine are all flawed bastards, I can't help but love them in a way. And some of them are going to die. Maybe I'd be better off writing for Young Adults - where no one dies but the bad guys, who are truly evil, and where the good guys are incorruptible.
Any thoughts? Anyone else still around 3000 words?

I'm still building my story but many of my characters have been rattling around in my head for months. Creepy sometimes.... :D
ReplyDeleteI am just over 4000. So I am going to sign off, make a pot of coffee and work on writing. Good luck all.
When I was going to college I had more than one person say to me "by the time you finish, you are going to be 40!" I was taking one class at a time so I could be home with my sons (you) and still work. I said, "I'm going to be 40 anyway so I might as well enjoy what I'm working at (teaching). Turned out it was true.
So...no matter what I write..I'm at least writing. And I'm heading in the right direction.....In my head that connected better. Haha.
And 40 isn't so bad. I actually like it better than the 20s most days.
