I’ve reached over 75,000 words, and I think the story is finally getting off the ground. I’m still making new discoveries about the characters and what’s going on in their lives. This is the fun part, I suppose, now that I’m actually coming up with something to write. I’m going to shoot for finishing by Monday night. I don’t know if it’ll happen, but I really want it to. I might not actually have much more to do. I’m just going for the main scenes. There are two different storylines that need to be resolved individually, and then the whole story arc needs to be resolved after that. I had so little idea for what this story was when I started out, and it’s actually gotten pretty complex. Too complex to worry about all the various intricacies right now. I just want to get the main themes written, and worry about fleshing them out more fully on the rewrite. *sigh* This one will definitely need a re-write, which makes two now. Last year’s needs a complete re-write as well. And where I thought I might not care enough for this one to bother, I do. I always care too much. These characters become so real to me.
