Wow! What a good start! Let’s hope it keeps going. I didn’t think I would get very much done today because I’ve been really dragging. I think the time change is catching up to me. Also, I didn’t start writing until pretty late in the day and figuring out some technogical difficulties distracted me. The writing is flowing much better this year and I think its from writing the Morning Pages every day. Practice. The PowerBook is fantastic for writing along the the iPod for continous music.

Emeren has taken over this chapter. I mean I knew I would open the novel with his premonition but he finally started to really “talk” to me. Its been Remington’s voice for most of the planning period these past few weeks. She is very aggressive so I hoped Emeren would speak up and match her. Very cool!

Excerpt(the first few lines of the novel):

Emeren knew a premonition stalked restlessly on the outer edges of his consciousness, waiting to pounce at the right moment. He woke up earlier than usual with the clarity and urgency that herald the arrival of a major vision. Something was about to happen that would change his life forever. He could feel it.
