Still sick but slightly better off than yesterday. Bah, who cares, on to the writing!

Wondering if I’m introducing too many characters at once but plowing through the fear. The brevity of the chapters is offset (I hope) by the method of time actually flowing as opposed to giving a snapshot of all new characters at the same moment in time. Hopefully this will act as a kind of secondary character. Time, I mean. By having time move along at a steady pace while introducing new characters, I hope to make things flow in a steadier, more understandable pace.  Will have to rely on my alpha reader for some feedback there. Good luck, Kevin.

Am reaching the end of the book’s first day, which is actually set two days before something big happens.   Everyone knows it, is no surprise, but it’s still tense. In this manner, I hope to bring the reader in without blowing all the action upfront. Again, go go gadget alpha reader! 

Word count increased to just under 6k. Need to get it up to 10 k to get on track for 50k end. A 50k word book – that’ll officially be my shortest one ever.
