Day 25 - 5 days remaining

The only true creative aspect of (novel) writing is the first draft. That's when it's coming straight from your head and your heart, a direct tapping of the unconscious. The rest is donkey work.

- Evan Hunter (Ed McBain)



And how flow the words today, Nano Writer?

Was it a trickle or more like riding white water rapids? The word count today is 41,667! If you're behind, it's time to open the floodgates and let the story flow from your heart and head onto the page - raw and unedited! Every word counts now!

Excerpts? Questions? Comments? It's all good! Keep writing!

Just crossed 50k and verified! Though technically this novel isn't anywhere near finished. It's nice to have a good chunk of the word done.

Jason Star Catcher didn't think that anyone would stand up for him. When he was being honest with himself it was because he didn't think he deserved it. Only people who were valued had other people defend them; he'd seen it in every place he lived no matter how short the duration.

Here, in the most unexpected of places, Jason had value.

Liesl stood up for him. Jerry guaranteed him that she'd take full responsibility for anything that happened, even knowing what it could do to her place in the commune. Curtis and Madelyn had become like siblings, willing to lay everything down to help him and protect him.

His father had told him that Liesl would take good care of him, he just couldn't have predicted how good.

Jason had lived on fragile ground for too long. So often he'd been ready to slip loose the mortal coil and see what else the universe had in store for him, only on the other side, the side that he hoped wouldn't hurt so much as this one. The cabin in the woods and the people who lived inside of it had changed all that.

Home had managed to sneak up on him while he was busy looking for other things.

Well Done!
