I expect my pace to slow down somewhat after today. I reached the end of a particularly detailed section of my outline and in the next section I have a few story goals and scenarios without very many specific scene ideas to go with them. But I'm pretty pleased with the last four or five days' content, and I'm still loving this story. For some reason I keep half expecting to fall out of love with my novels halfway through, but I think it's turning out that the more time and effort I put in the more momentum I have and the more I want to finish.
We'll see how well that theory holds up when I'm knee-deep in revisions on my practice novel.

All right, he's not actually a dickweed. My main character, a twelve-year-old girl, just sees him that way. He is pretty irresponsible, though.

The new boy seems to be sticking around, and I'm liking him. Narratively speaking. He's kind of a dickweed, but that's his purpose in the story.
I struggled getting to my word count goal today. I'm tired. But we don't go for excuses around here! Except when we do. But not today!

Today an entirely new character popped in without warning. He seems to fit here, and he might be useful, but I don't trust him quite yet. I need to make sure he won't disrupt my outline. But my instincts tell me he could be a valuable tool, and there are precious few characters in this draft as it is. I definitely need more.

It's been a busy day, so I'm happy to have gotten even that much in. I may not be able to write tomorrow, but Thursday I should be back on schedule.

My writing schedule might get a bit irregular next week. My parents are coming in to town. But they leave Wednesday, and I'll definitely try to get some word count in while they're here. Writing is a huge priority for me, but there are things that can push it off the top of my list, and family is one of them.
