Progress

You are all four seasons
Rolled into one
You are the cold December snow
In the warm July sun
Day 1:
- Three characters introduced
- Three others are mentioned
- Five conversations
- Four conflicts
- 1,359 words

Day 2:
- Two of the mentioned characters are introduced
- Two conversations
- Five conflicts
- 2,390 words

- Two drabbles

Day 3 (so far):
- One more character introduced
- Another mentioned, plus reference to a previously mentioned character
- One conversation
- Two conflicts
- 2,524 words

Plus I've typed up all my character bios and found a middle name for one of them.
I'm in the middle of a 24 hour fast from my ipod and itunes for English class. Makes sense, right? I'm hoping I can get along without the random burst of music from my speakers. The cool air and misty rain outside have helped with inspiration. I also discovered that walking past my mirror and making faces to myself is particularly inspiring.
 His name is Finlay Leonard. Freshman, of course. He’s a little young, only 17, but definitely worth the investment. He’s brilliant, Dom, and I think you’ll really enjoy getting to know him. He’s a fantastic writer. You should Google him if you get the chance. Might be a little creepy once you finally meet, but it’ll give you a good sense of where his head is.

First quote is from "Northern Wind" by City & Colour. I love blasting them out my windows when I drive down the highway, but their lyrics are wonderfully artistic.
Second quote is from page 5 when I introduce Dominic with a phone conversation. More random tidbits to come!

Have a happy day,
~Allison
