Novel Month 2016 – Day 3, evening

Today was a very good day for writing. It could be even better, maybe, but I think I’m done. My word count since I started at about noon stands at 4,785, which is more than I’ve ever written in a single day before. Counting this post, editing, notes, etc., it’s well over 5,000.

Storywise, I’m done with Chapters 2 and 3. Our hero (antihero?) has been in a bit of a scuffle, he’s ratted out a narc, and he’s getting ready to sneak into what’s essentially a police station. That’s not where I imagined this story would go when I first came up with it. But that’s how it is sometimes. That’s both the best and worst thing about the “organic” storytelling style I have: you never know where it will take you.
