Hello all!
I wanted to have some sort of midweek report this week because I am getting a lot done right now and I wanted to share. This one will be shorter than usual and I will be posting again on Sunday.
On Monday I wrote eight pages, Tuesday I wrote two, Wednesday, three, and so far today I have written seven. I have written twenty pages in four days. Given this fact I have affirmed my theory that I write more and better when I am not okay. All of my previous major writing projects were during 7th-9th grade, which was not a fun time for me. There were a lot of emotions and I stayed in my room and wrote all day. This is a mixed blessing because I now know I will be able to get a lot done this month in general because I also like to keep busy when I'm not okay, however, I am not okay. My sibling is going to have to go away for a while as soon as possible and will be gone for at least 30 days, but we do not yet know where or when they are leaving (they need residential care for depression and prayers are welcome).
On a different note, I now know where the plot is going! I have introduced everything and a problem has presented itself for the characters to solve. We have character development going on with William and Mark's sister who has made many poor life choices has appeared asking for help. She saw something she shouldn't have... Something that wasn't human and that makes Genesis scared. That alone is terrifying. Basically they have to save the world from these creatures, the Unnamed, and from perfect order. After all, “Entropy is life. Chaos is life. Perfect order is stagnation, is death. Only in disorder is there a possibility of change.” James A. Owen in The Dragons of Winter.
I am at thirty-one pages with an average rate of five pages per day this week. I hope to reach forty-five or fifty by Sunday, and then it will be something I am willing to share with the public (aka you).
