Elemental is at just over 60,000 words, and I'm trying to start a war. I think it will run another 15k-20k words, and I want to flesh out a few things once I'm done putting the story down "on paper". I need to finish writing down what all the holidays are, and maybe draw a map because the one in my head is still a little fuzzy.
I know what will happen at the end. I mostly know how to get everyone from point A to point B at this point, but I've still got a few hazy areas.
I love this story. I can't wait 'till it's in the shape of a book I'd love to read. It's close. But it's not there yet.
Friday was the boyfriend's birthday. We went on a road trip, which was a lot of fun. It gave me a few ideas for other novels, especially the Fae ones. Jalireth grew up in Tucson after he turned 9, and driving around Arizona gives me a feel for what he'd have seen better than sitting in my air conditioned apartment in the middle of the city does. One thing about writing: you can't write if all you do is sit behind a desk and stare at a computer. If you don't engage your own five senses, how can you make your reader feel like all five of theirs are engaged? =P
We've got clouds rolling in. It might storm tonight. It might not. It would be really cool if it does.
I hope more writing will happen later. For now my head hurts just a bit too much to keep going.
