Chapter Two

Well the plot is thickening in my novel writing world. I'm still very far behind on my word count goals, but I'm starting to get better at writing quickly and not worrying about editing. I have a promising 11,000 words now and a glorious 39,000 words to go, and I think there is a chance that I may actually pull it off if I stop analyzing every scenario that I create and just let them run free on the page. Though this may sound like a easy thing to do, I find it next to impossible, because I like every detail to shine like a new penny.

I finished shining Chapter Two--True Colors a few days ago. It's posted on my author's profile if you want to check it out. In this chapter, I introduce my space traveling yetis and the two humans that they've taken as prisoners. I don't like to pick favorites, but I think Ambassador Octapon is going to be my favorite character. He is my top-ranked, charming yeti/cyrun who seems to get into trouble where ever he goes. Running a close second is the captured archaeologist Fieldy who is being carried against his will back to the yeti's underground city. These characters still surprise me everyday with the things that they do and their mannerisms. Sometimes, I even think these characters have more control over me than I do over them, and we'll see where they take me soon enough. Anyway, it's back to my story for the time being, because I refuse to be defeated by this task that I've set in front of me.
