writing
I've decided to continue posting about my progress on my failed NaNoWriMo attempt in the hopes that I will stay motivated if I pretend you guys are anxiously awaiting updates. So, here we go.
At this point, I'm straying pretty significantly from the original manuscript because I'm currently focusing on a character who didn't exist in the original. I'm also making a lot of changes in one of the old characters because I realize that she had absolutely no personality before. That's the danger of writing characters designed by your friends: you're filled with the constant worry that if you make the character do something bad, your friend will assume you think they would behave in that way. As my fellow writers know, however, that's not how fiction works. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy these miniature insights into my writing process. I'll attempt to post more often, but I make no promises. Today's Word Count: 974 Total Word Count: 7687 Today's Page Count: 6 Total Page Count: 41 Favorite Line from Today (taken completely out of context): She didn't think any of the kids would care that she was openly disobeying school policy by hiding medicine in her desk, but she'd prefer they didn't speculate as to why she was sporting a headache at eight in the morning.
