Day Twenty - 38,303 words and counting

This month, I'm writing a novel. All my progress can be found on my private blog. The commentary for each day's work can be found below.

Today I write a scene that I have long planned, and I'm a little nervous about it. As I mentioned yesterday, it leads directly to a big revelation about Bryony's past. I've slightly rearranged the timeline of this section, and that big revelation will definitely come out tomorrow.

This section was probably one of the easiest to write, in part because it was already so clear in my mind. The idea that Bryony didn't know how to read was a compelling one to me, all the more so because it took her so off guard, and felt so monumentally unfair. She does know how to read, just not in a way that anyone else can, so it does her no good.

Their interview is concluded in the last part of Chapter 10, which will be yours to read tomorrow.
