I'm thinking of making the infant in my book an older child. I think then there can be more interaction between her and my hero. So poof, Lily may going to go from 7 months to 4 years. There are ways that that won't work either, so I have to weigh my options. I thought of giving my heroine two kids, but not sure how that'll work given her relationship with Lily's father.
So far the story is going okay. I'm not loving it, but at least I can see where it's going. It's a paranormal so I have to figure out how soon I should have Viviane actually see her ghost. And I don't know if she's going to be "Oh cool, I have a ghost." of "Oh my God! I can't stay here!" I think the former. Maybe I'll have to introduce a wacky friend who has a morbid interest in the paranormal.
Yeah! That'll work!
I love unexpected brainstorming.
Anyhue, I'm up to 10722 words. That means 39278 to go. 1571 per day to go. I need a really good day of writing to get that average down.Labels: brainstorming, word count |
Hey ... soap operas make their kids grow up at warp speed, why not you? *G*
And, yeah, brainstorming... funny how the mind works, isn't it?
GREAT job with the word count!!!
