Yes, it's been about another week, well, I'm posting a day early again, because I've got so much homework to do tomorrow that I probably wouldn't be able to get on here to post my word count, so why not post it a day early? Well, like I had posted last week, I am in chapter 7... still. But as I write chapter 7, I've begun to realize I do not write the story. My characters do. I let them take on a world of their own and so, once again, I've added something I did not plan to happen. Right now, my MC is dreaming and he's seeing his older brother, Nathaniel. Sadly, the MC thinks the dream is real and thinks his brother is actually alive. This has happened before in the last book a little bit, but this is just part of the slope that reveals that the MC is going downhill. But anyway, I DO plan that after his dream is over, he makes a decision to do something (not saying what), but his decision will not go through, as his sister will stop him. Then I'll have this cute scene about him and his sister going to see Nathaniel at his grave, to partly put the MC in his right mind, but also to remind the MC that there is closure where his brother remains buried. After that, the plan goes onward, which I think I have mentioned in previous comments above, so if you don't remember, I'm sure you'll find it there.
So, now here's the word counts!
Last Week: 47,207
This Week: 49,188
Next Week: 50,120
Thanks for checking in, guys!
Happy writing and good luck with your word counts!
