Day 1

The opening scene that I had planned on writing developed into my first chapter. And even though I previously said that I was planning on writing out of sequence, until I hit a wall I am going to keep moving forward in a linear fashion. The words are coming rather quickly (well at least for me) and the story is unfolding nicely.

One thing that I am very aware of thus far has been pacing. In the past I've rushed to get to the end. All through the writing process this evening I have been reminding myself that there is no hurry. I'm letting the characters breathe a little bit, and that's a good thing.

Total word count: 1,481.
