Listening to podcasts- pro authors spending 2-3 hours a day writing. Get about 3k words per day
I can do that with a full time job.
Ok- word count- can i get 3k/day from here on out? that's my ticket out of this mess.
So no excuses. I'm going pro now. (From here on out I have two jobs).
Rechecking I have 18 scenes.
I've decided to change a few locations and bump up the problems.
See how it goes.
Same goal- get to 30 scenes.
Also I need to finalize my heroine- who she is, what she wants, so I can find her voice and make it unique from the others.
UPDATE: I now have about 25 scenes and an added plotline.
If I can embrace this new plotline, I should get to 30 scenes.
Stuck at 25.
...more to come...

I think I have the plotline for this story. I am good to go.
I am starting a new path and it's going to be hard.
I will focus all of my energy here. There is no other.
I will write until 10pm, at which point I will go to bed.
I will write during lunch for my 2 hours and then I will go back to work.
I might even get up in the morning... okay, maybe not. But that will be okay too.
Maybe if I get up in the morning, I can go somewhere fun to write. :)
No more internet and TV.
It's just me and this page and my story.
Now... on to brainstorming for words. Eventually I'll get bored enough to cooperate.
***
737 words of brainstorming and I know their voices. Not sure I've got their conflict with each other. But then I missed that totally with 2 as well and yet somehow it still feels like a fun story.
So F*** the rules. We'll see how these puppies sell, breaking all the rules but keeping things fun.
