Just over 1000 words yesterday, but it felt good to slip back into the story and get back into the swing of writing it. The two characters still feel very alive to me, and their story is waiting to be told. The only question I've got right now is over how quickly to take the relationship between them, as they're in a very interesting place.
Trying not to give away the plot, it goes like this: they've met, got on and were about to get it on when something interrupted them. Dealing with that something required one of them to reveal a very deep secret about herself to the other which meant that while they didn't do anything together, they have formed a deeper connection. The other, though, is somewhat scared by the secret and has had to decide whether she wants to know more, or just forget the whole thing. I'm at the point where she's decided to go on, they've met again, and now I have to work out how they move forward.
And, of course, where our antagonist pops up to throw a spanner in the works for them...
All good, though, and challenges that are interesting to deal with, not frustrating. They're letting me learn more about the characters and tell their story more accurately - and when I go back and rewrite this, it should get even better!
The stats say I'm at 14,842 words. Here's to at least 16,000 by the end of today!
