80k!
80k on the novel!
I'm so happy. That felt better than to hit than 75k, and yet I'm not really sure why. Though, I'm only... half way through the plot. I'm just hoping that my second half will be shorter than my second half (not possible numerically, but you know what I mean). I don't think that will happen though. I suppose I'll cut some of this out in the rewrite, but, I think it's nearly all important. I mean, okay sure, I did spend some time tonight describing an elevator, but my MC has never been in one before, and so for her to just get in one without any kind of thought or anything would be stupid. Especially since she's a relatively curious, yet paranoid character in comparison to other characters in the novel/in other novels.
Well. Whatever. It's a novel for me. If it's boring, it's boring. I don't care. I'll keep saying it, and saying it. Because, in the end, I'd rather have a long boring novel, with all my character interaction and a summer's worth of writing fun that nothing at all, besides which I love pretty much everything I've written to some extent. There is only one scene of about 100 words that I want to cut out, and only then because it doesn't fit with the narration style. HELL if my novel bores people, does that matter? If I'm the only one really to read it, then hopefully it won't bore my reader(s) at all! XD
Calina is handling being away from Ellette quite well actually. In fact, she seems to be coping better than she did in the scenes were she was alone at the university. She seems to have already developed a sense of confidence, even if her knees are buckling underneath her. And she's already made some VERY powerful friends. I think that's a good thing, personally, and it means that the plot is progressing, because she's about to start the second part of the novel now, with a quest. >D Ooooo. No, it's not really the fun kind of quest- well, it could be if I made a whole novel of it, but that's not the point. The quest is a bi product of the obsession that occurs earlier in the novel, and not the other way around. Do I care if this makes it unmarketable? NOPE! =D I love it!
And, I love Calina, because I didn't think she'd handle this well at all. :]
And, I'm rambling.
So, like any of you care.
It's bed time soon.
