I spent yesterday writing and not outlining.  I have the first 3 or so chapters mapped out, and I’m going to take it from there.  I can always outline as I go.  Something about outlining multiple viewpoint third person than one viewpoint first.  I think and outline chronologically, so writing first is just so much easier for me.

I wrote 8 pages yesterday.  It pretty much took me all day–on and off.  I started where I wanted to this time, and the words flowed much simpler, and more importantly I heard my heroine.  She is speaking loud and clear now.  Not so much with the other beginning.

I finished my killer’s motivation today–thanks to the help of my BFF, Maria Shanti.

With it being May tomorrow, and since I want to stick to my original plan of one book per quarter (whether it’s writing or editing), I recalculated and now have to write 8 pages per day, 6 days a week for the next 8 weeks–starting Monday.  I say, “Oh, it’s only 3 pages more than my original goal”, but those 3 little pages could end up making each day that much harder.

I’m optimistic though.  At least it’s not 15 pages a day.
