Day 33
Oh my gosh!! My whole story just got going in 1500 words!! It's now about the quest to retrieve Rosie. Totallllly didn't see that coming!! I thought more of the story would take place in the real world, but it looks like a lot of it is going to take place in Daisy's world. They're going to have to quest through all of Daisy's horrible locked up memories to rescue Rosie. It's going to be dark I think...
I also made a connection between the real world and Daisy's world. Daisy realizes that her world isn't real. It's something that the reader just accepts though, that other people can access her world. It's like magic in a way. It just is.
I'm excited to find out what happens though!! I am wondering what sorts of things they'll have to overcome. I'm excited!

Day 32
Day 32
When I was about 12, I was waiting for my mom to get her hair cut. I had a notepad with me, so I started writing detailed descriptions of people in the salon. Not only did I write about what they looked like, but I tried to look at physical clues and make things up about them. Woman has a wedding ring, so I would write about how she only got one day a month to get out of the house, and her family is very poor. Her husband has lost his job, and they're barely making ends meet, so she's here with money she tucked away every week for a month.
Stuff like that... it was fun. I still like to make things up about people I see randomly. I think it helps me to know better how to develop my characters.

Day 31
Day 31
Took the weekend off, yes, but I thought a lot about my story. I am still trying to decide what to do at this point in the story, so I'm having a hard time deciding what to write. I think I have a basic idea what would happen, but it's a crossroads, and it'll change a loooot in the story depending on which way I go.

Day 30
Day 30
Goodness gracious, I can't believe it's been a month! My story is still clipping along, but I need to commit more to it lately. I wrote a little bit tonight, and things are unfolding kind of the way I think they should. It's going to be messy in a minute here, but I think it might inspire an unlikely collaboration that could be neat. I also think it will bring forth a new level of Jack's relationship with his grandma, which will make later events sadder if they have to transpire, ie, killing his grandma.

Day 29
Day 29
Sooo... in response to the guy's post... can I be looking at someone in the mirror standing next to me, or does it have to be me?
Not writing today, buuuut discovered a way to stop hating so much what I've done with my story. I figured out a way to make it work, and it's actually awesome and kind of waaaay more necessary than I realized it was. It gives meaning and continuity, so I have to introduce another character in to Daisy's world, add a couple things.
Trying to help brother and sister-in-law move, get my house back into shape before school, etcetera, so haven't had too terribly much time to write, but lots of time to think about it. Yay!
