Day Three Total: 11,478 words so far

So, today I did better than yesterday. That's rather comforting in the grand scheme of things. Of course I can't stop writing yet, but I'm three days ahead and that is good enough for me.

I'm still not finished with Mick (a.k.a. 2nd character pov) and if I don't finish up with him soon the story's going to end up terribly unbalanced... but I'm mostly okay with that. At least I've got stuff to write about, now, even if I keep finding myself rather more influenced by what I'm reading than I perhaps should be.

I keep having this desire to insert some magic into my characters' lives, but it's meant to be set in the real world. I'm even naming more real world locations that I usually would. I actually went and looked up the names of buildings in the University of Newcastle! That's more 'research' than I usually do, since I usually like to make things up. And then, of course, there's the nightclub that I'm calling the Ivy, at the moment, but I shouldn't because it is not The Ivy, the real place.

Anyway, because I wanted to insert some magic in, Mick has started to have 'feelings', about places he should be and things he should do. I'll have you know that I think 'feeling' is just another word for 'plot hole' because I want him to be there but I don't really think anyone else understands why... so he has a feeling.
