Wednesday - day 7

The end of the first week is already upon us. With seven days writing, there is a word target of 11666 ... and I'm ahead of target (just). Yesterday wasn't so good, with just 900 words leaving me behind target for the first time. But the words have flowed out tonight and I'm back on track again.

My main character is developing nicely as I have planned, based on the person I interviewed. I'm not sure about some of his characteristics in the opening of the story, but I think these will become clearer as the action develops. But while the opening is developing, a number of his side-kicks are growing into characters of their own that will hold the story together when edited into final shape.

So, I'm happy with progress. After 20-ish% of the book, the opening is ending, and the action is beginning. The main character will soon experience the most life-changing experience which leads into the bulk of the book. Nicely placed for the next two weeks of writing, then the final week to tidy it all up. Well, at least that's today's plan.

Words today 2102 (best yet), making 11680 in total so far.
