Thank you, world, for finally letting me come up with a beginning I can work with! Somehow I managed to get 4 pages done tonight. 1396 words. That means instead of having to write 5000 words tomorrow, I will only have to write 3704 words (approximately). And that? That is totally doable. In fact, it's something I've done several times. Which makes me significantly less panicked. Oh, and I freaking finally have a voice for my journalist that I can stand. Because I now have a good reason for her to be bitter, rather than her just generally being bitter, which makes a huge huge difference. So happy. Ah, and these happy moments are so rare sometimes. But yay, yay I might not die tomorrow. Yay!
(And since I don't utterly hate this version, if any of you want to read the first chapter tomorrow when I get that part completely finished, let me know and I'll pass it along. Unless, of course, I wake up tomorrow semi-rested and decide I don't like it anymore. I'm hoping my sleep-deprivation right now isn't that bad, though. And I do usually write a bit better on less sleep. Probably because my brain isn't working enough to question everything I write.)
