I started writing the first draft of French Consequences, book three in my French series. I had planned on starting early on October 1st, but with all the writing I’m doing at work, and with PBDD, it seemed like it might make sense to start early.
My goal is 500 words a day, I think. Or maybe just a goal of working on it every day and see how it goes. I don’t need to get bogged down with word count.
I am writing much slower than during NaNo, and that’s probably a good thing. I’m also still working on the outline, and that’s good as well. Adding some useful parts, and it’s fun. I didn’t know one of the characters was from Lijiang. OK, honestly, I didn’t know anything about Lijiang until this morning. But it’s fun to pick a place and imagine being there. So far, I’ve pictured being in China, and in Lyon, France. And I’m still working on the first scene.
Writing is fun!
