I feel bad right now – I’ve just completed the first part of my NaNoWriMo novel, and I’ve done something very awful to my main character. I always knew it was coming, and it is necessary for putting the story on it’s true course, but I don’t like it at all.

It’s late Sunday night here, and I’ve just completed a few hours writing after getting back from a weekend in Sydney. I didn’t get time to do any writing yesterday, and even though I felt like I should have, I figured that I deserved a break after a week of solid writing already complete. I’d wanted to write this particular scene on Friday night, but I felt like it needed or deserved some dedicated time rather than just writing it in fits and spurts.

I’m still on track though – or 235 words short of my 2,000 / day word goal for Day 8.
