12,939 words written (target: 16,000)
Good day today. I wrote 1756 words on a fantasy story that currently has no name. It seems to be flowing well, but I've already identified a problem that I'm going to need to fix when I come back to edit: I don't know what the villain is doing. Or, I suppose, I know what he's doing but I don't know why he's doing it.
It's not a problem that is stopping me from writing the story, but I'm guessing that when the whole thing is done the villain is probably not going to be very compelling.
Hero (anguished): why are you doing this, you dastardly fiendishly evil monster?!
Villain (smug): because I'm dastardly, fiendish and evil! Also, a monster! Also, behold my death trap!
Yeah, not ideal.
As you can tell by the word count above, I'm still behind. It's going to be a crunch to get this done by the end of November -- 1267 words a day, for the next 6 days -- but I'm going to give it my best. You probably won't hear from me again until it is done and dusted.
And then, hopefully, I'll have some time for some more interesting content!
