But one thing does come to mind. I had expected to just have just a paragraph describing dinner, that it was good, and mentioning some small talk. Instead, I found myself writing almost 4 pages of this dinner scene. Now, every scene must move the story along in some way, and I was surprised to see how this little, additional scene was able to show new depths of the main character. And, it was fun to write.
Today I start the chapter introducing (and subsequently killing) the main character's father. This is a pivotal scene in the book as much of what will follow is directly related to the motivation for and the act of killing him. I have already established the villain as really bad and a bit crazy, so this will serve to magnify this. It should be fun. All I have to do is find a name for him (this morning, before I start writing...he has to have a name before I can start writing him).
So let it be written...
so let it be done.
