Day Six: Done. 1,101 words.
I wonder how much of what I’m writing now will end up being useful. I’m fleshing out a lot about my main character’s childhood, including his first love, his abusive father, and the friend who ended up being his nemesis. No clue how all (or any) of this will fit into the original story line—assuming, of course, that story line even survives.
I have no idea what lies ahead for my characters. Of course, this is also true for all of us here the real world, so I suppose it’s only fair.
A lot of characters in the real world.

Indeed. That’s what I tell myself when I look at the Excel spreadsheet with all the characters. (I learned to do this so I wouldn’t give the same name to two characters.)

1400 today. I’m a linear writer so the story is moving forward although I never know the direction until I get there.
