And we're off and running!!

I got up nice and early this morning and plugged in 500 words and I'll try for another 500 tonight as well.  I didn't reallt bother to flesh out my main character because it always seems to kill my muse but the moment i started writing I discovered the following things about Chloe:
  1. Her boyfriend packed and left her for another woman about 8 months ago.
  2. Only recently has his rejection stopped hurting.
  3. She's lonely.
I can't wait to find out more about her!  I've never quite understood how my characters come to life without my actually thinking about them but they just do, so why fight it??

  1. Sounds like a great character. Look forward to seeing more.

  2. I know what you mean. It's like getting to know a real person. Except they happen to live inside your head. :)
    Crazy timezones. It's barely 10/1 here.
