YAY, I REACHED MY FIRST WORD COUNT GOAL! Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system, I want to tell you about what I'm learning so far.
I'm afraid I started the day a bit out of it. I figured that I had time to read a few books before November, and I did. I read 3 books in 2 days. It was an excellent series. Unfortunately, I wasn't counting on the literary hangover after my reading binge. My day started with my head full of someone else's characters and motivations in my head. Not good. Eventually, I cleared my head enough to find my characters. I read some of the pep talk posts and some technique posts from authors I admire. Then, I read through my own notes. I was able to see them again. Finally, I was able to start writing.
My story did not start where I thought it would. When I first conceived this story, it started in a bar. Turns out, when I put my fingers to the keyboard, my story started before that. Also, my cast was apparently incomplete. I thought I had accounted for ask the major players. Turns out, I was wrong. I'm not sure who I just made in the last few sentences of today's work, but I cannot wait to meet them tomorrow. Until next time!
