Utter failure.

I didn't get 4000 words yesterday, but I did really well and only came up 250 words short. I wasn't sad I didn't get my goal. I'm at 2000 today, with plans for another 2000 later on.

Yesterday a minor character did something surprising to me, and so now I have to deal with that. It's likely to change the entire course of the book, and possibly the entire series. maybe that sounds pretentious, that my characters are operating with minds of their own, but that's what happens, and mine operate with soap opera sensibilities, so although they haven't gotten into things like affairs and sleeping around yet, we have other hot button issues that could happen to a kid on Melrose Place. Which is now out on DVD.
