Finished the first chapter. It ends with a real punch. I was anxious before starting to write last night. I would have preferred to procrastinate for a couple of days and then find something to distract me for the next eight months until I forgot about it and pick up god-knows-what loose thread connected to lord-knows-which story. But the new me said, fuck this, and dove in--after napping off a Christmas dinner food coma.
It's weird to go from being me on a night like Christmas to being a protagonist in a very different set of circumstances. As different as my life and circumstances are from the character, there are seeds of shared perspective.
I felt emotionally drained and invigorated after finishing the chapter. I hope to finish two more by the end of the week. I hope to finish at least two a week until school starts, and I hope that doesn't slow my progress too much.
