Ignore the Authoress Behind the Pen and Paper!

She's a lot more powerful, with her tricks and magical written powers, when she can hide behind it all.

Yeah, it's been a week. A long, crazy, stressful, tear-inducing, giggle-worthy (in some aspects), week. Mostly me wanting to rip out people's hair (not my own, they all cause me enough pain).

Yet, in that week, I've managed to write 15,000 words. I fell behind during two of those days, because I had a bad case of writer's block/wtf-I-don't-know-where-they-should-go-next.

I will be about 4,000 words off my major goal tomorrow, since I'm going to the City to relax with my roommate and suitemate(s). But I have the 1,667 word goal met for tomorrow already. As long as I don't fall below that, I should be fine. And next Saturday/Sunday/Wednesday/Thanksgiving Break should all offer some more time to write, to get me ahead of that mark. I have to, since I only have 28 days of writing. Stupid concerts (just kidding, love to dem fawl oot boiz and anberlin <3)

So, Kaya and Aedan have escaped the fortress, due to a series of fortunate (at least to them) events. They are on their own for the first time in years. Actually, the first time ever. They were at least fed, clothed, etc at the fortress. But now they are out and about, discovering new things (and informing me of such, like how Aedan is apparently a pyromaniac). But they won't be on their own for long! *dun dun DUUNNNN*

I can't wait to write in the next character. I'm still up in the air if Reveyn will be nice or somewhat distanced, like a reluctant motherly figure. I guess we will see when the time comes!

I'm getting excited to see where this novel takes me, since I am 20,055 words in, 40% done, so that I have plenty of space to develop everything. There are only, maybe, three scenes more that I've been imaging for all these years, and added to the ten or so that have been popping into my head... That still leaves a lot of room for the novel to do it's own thing. Here's hoping "it's own thing" is something I can agree with.

It is far past my bedtime now, so I will be off to dream of new things to write about (my muse likes to give me tasty morsels of inspiration right before I doze off or when I can't possible write them down. I think she likes to tease too much).

Peace and Love
