I'm done for today. The original goal were the daily 3k but then I decided I should go for 5k. After reaching that, I called it a day. An hour later, I was back, declaring that I needed to reach a total of 18k.
I have.
Total: 18,061
Day 2: 7,825
This is going way better than planned although I don't have most of the lyrics for the chapters and I skipped chapter 10 to begin with chapter 11 because I didn't feel like writing #10 at that moment. And I think I need to do some rough outlining for the next 10 chapters or so tomorrow because I'm rapidly reaching the end of the outlining I did on October 31st to distract myself. At school tomorrow.
and I have written Tahiri's recommendation letter in the AM but it's in my notebook and I was too lazy to type it. I think I'll only do that when Tahiri actually receives the letter. And it needs more work. She needs to be moved by it and I don't think that's the case yet. It has to make her extatic, be the catalyst for knowing she can do it because it works as a trigger. When she gets handed that letter, I want it to build enough confidence in her that she won't doubt any of her decisions and just know that she has the scholarship.
And I think MoCCA should happen soon. I'm not entirely sure about everything that will happen at MoCCA but I'll be able to introduce Billy and Matt and that will put the plot somewhere. I'm also trying to decide who I want to go to MoCCA with Tahiri. Jason might already be gone by then but maybe, just maybe, they all can go. That would be risky because of who is around at MoCCA. I can't decide if I should have an almost-encounter like in that cliffhanger scene in "O Clone" during carnival when Lucas is walking along that boulevard and Leo is walking toward him and the episode ends with everyone excited about the next episode: Will they meet? If so, what will happen?
There are pros and cons to having that many characters at MoCCA but it would be so fun to have a chapter on each of the character's adventures. Matt gets into talking with Tahiri when someone else is also around but Billy ... I'd like him to just approach her about her pictures or even better, have him introduced to her but ... oh, that could work. That's a good idea. I like it!
I'm not sure if it'll work but it could.
