Sep 7: Why did your antagonist become an antagonist?

Because she believes entirely in her mission. She believes she's protecting the world from a violent threat, that that protection requires sacrifice and vigilance. It's not even a hard call, for her.

I read that lengths in the industry are minimum 50K words, and the sweet spot is 70K to 100K.

I'm so relieved! I thought it was 120K! My book will probably arrive at 70K, maybe a little less. A short novel, not another unsellable novella.

August 24. Antagonist POV: What do you like most about where you live?

[French-Canadian accent] We're tens of millions of kilometres from anyone we could hurt. It is necessary. It is part of our sacrifice for humanity. Everyone is more safer.

Wrote a scene in my ( ). I decided to jump to the end and go forward a little, but I have to fill in the middle. It's slowly coming together, like a puzzle: working from the outside in.

How'd your day go? Any progress? Everything counts as "progress"!
