Saturday, technically
Jan. 14th, 2006 12:33 amOver 2300 words today. Not as w00tworthy as it sounds, unfortunately--I nodded off last night after having completed only a page or so, and needed to play catch up. We're going to try to not let this happen again.
One good thing happened--I finally nailed the voice of one of my POVs. It's Torin, the young wannabe archivist from CI. Well, he's edging more toward the journo side of the Force, and his voice finally shook out. Hyper-observant--he notices more about peoples' moods and interactions than they're really comfortable with. Nervous, because, well, he's either trying to record people without them knowing it, or trying to figure out how to get aboard a ship he has no business being on, or simply trying to find out things he isn't supposed to know.
I think he's a good Fresh Eyes POV--so many things will be new to him, and he'll be a good tool for getting out info about Jani and the other characters. And when things come to a head, it will just hit him harder, because he's young and earnest and hasn't seen much yet.
