Fifteenth Post:
Day 3 and as anticipated, I’ve dropped a little behind schedule by adding only a little over 500 words tonight. Spent a little time cleaning up yesterday’s efforts with dialogue and adding a little more to the chapter that required backstory. This is a tough one because there’s a whole village present and I kind of need it to feel emotionally honest and not have it fall into the realms of pantomime. Wish I could go into more detail, but I need to think about sleep. Will also definitely need more time to get this one to actually work.
I guess the good news is that I’ve got less than 25% of the total 30K total to go.
Okay, enough now. Sleep good.
