And I have now...
May. 3rd, 2009 12:07 pmCracked 10,000 words in the new!Ben&Janni story.
They are non-linear words. I still have to write scenes that actually start this thing (because Heaven forbid I actually start at the beginning), and scenes that need to go in between to set up some of my new characters better. I still don't know who my Big Bad is, pulling strings behind the scenes.
Number of times I've broken Ben: 3
And these are small breaks, fractures, really. Tiny capitulations (in comparison to the big one that's coming later--and the one that comes after that is going to be even worse) that are gradually shattering him.
I have no idea how I'm going to put him back together after all this. Or even if I can put him back together.
*repeats mantra* It's a romance, not a tragedy. It's a romance, not a tragedy...
Really. It is.
