Thinking
Today I got past that 50,000 word hump on my novel. It’s interesting to consider that I have
written over 184,000 words of fiction just since February. And since I completed two college degrees
without ever writing anything longer than 20 pages, it’s a pretty big
accomplishment. Writing has allowed me
to live vicariously through my characters, imagining how I would behave given a
particular situation. As a Gemini I understand
the duality of personality and have an unusual—some might say inane—ability to
play devil’s advocate. As I’ve said
before—I leave pieces of my personality throughout my work, but I also have to
step outside of myself sometimes when I consider certain ideas and storylines.
