How novel! :)

Word count: 2,019 today for a total of 72,569. Written in an hour and a half because I realized I'd hit a quarter past nine and not written a word yet for the day. Desperation as the mother of inspiration? I've gotten into chapter sixteen, back to the central plot location, managed to write in the well ghost story (yay! something else I've had in my head for years!), and drawn from real life for some of the unexpected events and emotions. Last night I also realized that the title of the work does not primarily refer to the events of current time, but rather to the events of nineteen years in the past. This scared me, realizing it. Because the past? Much nastier than the present. Can you say landmine, boys and girls? I knew you could! I've also realized that a lot of (I thought) individual conversations in the story tie together as a theme which is going to be related to the title and to that landmine. So I'm cleverer than I thought I was? Good job I have a subconscious taking care of these things for me, I'm certainly not smart enough to go it alone!
