Wrote 1,434 words and finished chapter 9. I worked out the major thing that’s going to lead to the main conflict of the book, which is great! It was something I was worrying a lot about before.

Only ended up writing 107 words. There’s no reason for this at all, other than I was feeling severely unmotivated. I really didn’t think the week two blues were going to hit at the end of week 3.

Overview
I just started chapter 12 last night, and only two of my perspective characters (there are three) have met each other. Let’s call them A, B, and C respectively. Initially, the idea was that A and C would never meet – their actions would affect each other (and that is what has happened) but now I’m thinking that they may end up meeting in the end. The very end. Well, I’ve still got time to figure it out.
How is everyone else’s writing going?
