Word Count Total:
Worked on a couple of chapters today: MC #1 learning more about his new toy, and MCs #2 and #3 on a long journey.
Slow start this morning since we had a late night last night. Still have five chapters to write; it's looking quite unlikely that I'll be done before Thanksgiving now unless I start doing much shorter chapters, but that wouldn't seem like actually telling the story.
Update - had a little time in the evening while one child was asleep and the other was out on an errand, so made a start on another chapter. It is a strange chapter, which is kind of needed but which is difficult to write.
Indeed, there are a few chapter like this one - chapters which are about delineating the circumstances of the story but which might be more effective from a story-telling point of view if accomplished in a different way. But first I need to to determine the circumstances so I can recast them later.
Another Update - fixing the MC numbering, since it was wrong.
