Wahooooo! Out of my slump! I started writing first thing this morning, probably because I felt super guilty about slacking yesterday. I'm not good in the mornings--I'm much more productive in the afternoons (once my coffee's kicked in and I've had some time to wake up). Still, so far this morning I've managed to write 564 words! I've already hit my goal for today, so anything else is GRAVY! I'm hoping to get at least another 500 or so, though...if I'm honest with myself, I'd really like at least another 1,000. Gotta build up the weekend buffer...especially since I probably won't be writing this holiday Monday. With any luck I'll actually be at the Ren Faire, though that might happen on Sunday.
Anyway, Bryn and Mer are going to have a bit of downtime while they chill in the Mess, grab food, and goof off. Bryn is going to teach Mer how to pick a lock, and she's going to stop being so damn passive and start taking charge of her life. It doesn't end well for her, of course...not 'till the third book, anyway ("wtf, Amy already has three damn books planned out? She cray-cray, y'all!").
Also, excitingly, I realized that I am almost to the meat-and-bones of my book! After the mess Bryn and Mer are going to plot with Jules, quit HQ, and head out. They'll be taken as far as Saratoga Springs, NY, then they'll have to hoof it from there (roadblocks, monitoring on all public transit, etc.). They'll be nearly captured, Pilot will be called in to rescue them, she'll panic and leave them, and they'll barely escape. Poor Pilot ;{ Anyway, Pilot will have a second chance, redeem herself...and die. Poor, poor Pilot, I really don't want to write that bit. Then of course Bard will betray Bryn & Mer, setting up the terrible, terrible ending...which I won't spoil here. This is the stuff I've been waiting to write since Pilot--the first character I created from this book--first popped into my head.
...I am a literary homicidal maniac. Je pleure.
Anyway, I'll try to write again later, once I've finished with the story for the day. For now, mes peuples, à bientôt!
