Oh, I'd forgotten how good it feels to write.
Granted, there is insomnia involved and it's really quite depressing that I only got eight pages out of 3 1/2 hours of work, but it's still something, and I'm dearly in love with my characters now.
I have only about 7200 or so words written on this in total, but the way I write, that'll become quite a bit more when it's done. I tend to push scenes forward very fast--lots of dialogue and quickly getting from point to point. I don't sit around and describe every leaf and twig. All that stuff I add in later once the scenes and plot have moved forward. So really, the 7200 words are probably more like five chapters, when it's all filled out. Plus, I have a full summary and outline already written up, so that has me ahead of the game, too.
I really should've worked on this during NaNoWriMo, but I can't stand being on someone else's schedule, so this is working out better. I just hope I have the patience and attention span to keep up with it, because I do love where it's going.
