25,000 Words
Nov. 12th, 2018 05:56 pmYesterday I hit 25,000 words on my NaNo. The month isn’t even half over yet and I’m already halfway there! Although of course now that I’ve said this, there’s still half a month in which the story could run off the rails and I could fail NaNoWriMo yet again.
I don’t really think it will, though. I’ve finished the flashback part (20,000 words about their friendship in junior high. I hope it’s not too long. I just got inspired), and now I’m working on the present-day part, in which Ashlin and Olivia, now in college, run into each other quite by accident when Olivia is on a college-sponsored trip to Florence with her art history class.
Can they rebuild their friendship? And perhaps kindle… something more???? In between stuffing themselves with gelato and tiny cups of coffee and those delectable waffles slathered with Nutella that they sell around the Florence city center?
My working title is Ashlin & Olivia. Unless a really brilliant alternative occurs to me, I believe I’ll keep it.
