senashentaJust a brief writing/NaNo/TKA update because I'm tired today and don't feel up to a whole huge long journal entry. Also, I need a nap. :|
I'm up to 90 pages and 43,679 words on TKA and it isn't quiiiiite the middle of the month yet. I'm hoping to break the NaNo 50,000 word goal in the next day or two. The NaNo website got really excited when I got over 40,000 words and gave me a badge for reaching the 80% mark. Joke's on them, this book is going to be AT LEAST 80,000 words long in the end. So I'm more like 50% there, maybe.
I woke up this morning to my brain introducing me to Jaymie Cunningham, the newest member of the TKA cast TO JOIN IT HALFWAY THOUGH. *FACEPALM* New Brain insisted that Tyler needed a confidant other than Katie and a love interest other than Aidan, even though in the end it's Taidan all the way and it turns out Jaymie is actually in a seriously committed relationship with a fireman at another house anyway.
At least with the way I write, in scenes here-and-there, adding her in will be relatively easy. I wrote a scene with her earlier today (basically her last scene chronologically) and I guess I don't mind her as a character. She's another paramedic in the One-Ten, Sydney's partner, so she and Tyler work together.
Anyway, so basically things are going well but my brain insists on throwing me curve balls and I'm like. STOP THAT.
