A good start so far: 2,734 words in the first two and a half hours. That’s also about 3/4 of the first chapter, so that, too, is awesome. I managed to finish plugging my outline into Scrivener JUST before midnight, so I finally feel more settled on that front. (Also, Scrivener is awesome. Definitely still in beta, but SO AWESOME.) Despite writing a decent amount, I do feel that this first part is a big clumsy. Part of that is intentional–the first section is Janine’s old blog. I’m worried that that’s too sophisticated. And then the text immediately after it looks too juvenile. I didn’t get back into the flow until the scene in the kitchen. I think I’ll be ok from here on in, though.
