This weekend has really helped. I needed 16670 words to stay on track for today, and I just passed 21000. Things are going well although I think my story has taken a twist from where I expected it to go. I was going to strand my princess in a peasant village for a month or so, with or without amnesia… But that doesn’t seem to be happening.
It could all still change tomorrow, but it looks like this may be a journey story instead. It should be interesting. I still don’t have a handle on the Princess’s character but I’m hoping she’ll develop one along the way. Once I know what it is, I can always go back in the revisions and make everything consistent.
I do rather regret the piglet I was going to have in the story though… It would have been cute.
