It has taken me several hours to crank through my words this morning. Kept having to find a place to hide, and then weathered lots of interruptions. When it's quiet, I crank along, but when Chick is coming in every five minutes to ask questions, I stutter step. The laundry interrupts as well, but I've gotten all three loads of gentles done and onto the line, now, so YAY.
14343 / 50000 words. 29% done!
I'm trying for 2500 words a day, which is overkill. But that means if I underwrite for whatever reason, I'll be okay. Also, with Thanksgiving and Boo's birthday also this month, plus knitting and basketball and things like that... well, yeah. I need give myself a cushion.
Today I found out more about who Rosemary is, and brought her on screen to give Cian someone to deal with. Cian? Needs some social skills, desperately. He has managed to piss Rosemary off completely, and I can't blame her at all. Also, did a bit of work with Doyle, and sketched out where Trea is. Need to write some with Trea, but she also seems to be living up to her role of "pawn" and "lost princess" and may well not be on screen for much of the first half of the novel. I think rescuing her will be where the pivotal scenes for the halfway mark start happening.
Um, that halfway mark is around the 50k mark. Obviously I need to keep writing when the month is done.
And for fun, a tidbit of Cian and Rosemary. For the record? This is not a paranormal romance. Rosemary is not going to fall head over heels for Cian after he manhandles her because he is OMG the alpha male she cannot live without. She's going to try to beat the shite out of him eventually, and he's just all EW at the idea of her in general.
