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.
I made the decision to move on to Chapter 10 instead of remaining in 9 any longer. I didn't have a really good ending for 9, but there wasn't really a better one coming, so decided to hit the fast forward button to the next morning.
By the way, if you're keeping track, that means that as of the end of today's section, right at 48 hours have gone by since Bryony first awoke. I did the math based on my word count. That's just about 11 words for each minute of those two days. Huh. I don't know what to do with that. The next day will be similarly well cataloged, from morning to night. And that should be the last time I do that in the book.
I'm very satisfied with the scene with Devan. I think I established his character pretty well, and I look forward to doing more scenes with him later. I'm guessing that a week of novel time will pass before we really meet him again, but I may be wrong. Given that time is about to accelerate, I'd say his next scene will be in a week or so.
Tomorrow's scene is one that I've planned for a long time, and I've been setting up for it all along the way. I'm excited--it's important, and I want to be able to do it justice. It will lead almost directly into another scene, one that happens in the evening, where Bryony discovers something intriguing about her past. I can't wait to find out how everyone reacts to it. That probably won't be written until mid week, however.
Chapter 10 continues tomorrow!
