Day 4. The first 10,000 words.

Okay, the first 10k is in the bag on day four, which is much better than I hoped. It's weird because when I hit the daily goal there was part of me that wanted to say, "Fine, that's me done for the day," but as the 10k mark was right there for the taking, I couldn't resist the temptation to push on. 

I'm quite glad I did because I hit a major plot turning point. It's that moment when the reader should be thinking, "Oh, shit. Something bad is going on here." which is fab as a writer.

So, a quick look back. I haven't found it particularly difficult to Write Into the Dark so far, but I can really feel the pull of wanting to plot and plan. However, some of the things I've written wouldn't have been in a plan, so in a way it's working.

I'd love to write more on this but my fingertips are numb and I need to make chicken fajitas. 

10k in four days. I'm happy about that.

Until tomorrow!

Current word count: 10,075

Words to go: 59,925.
