Day 22

A day of constant interruptions. Could not sit down for more than an hour before the phone rang or I was asked to do something with people at the library.

I shouldn’t complain; at least I am interacting with people in real life. That makes such a change for me, I suppose.

So, the story. I knew where I was going yesterday, and I went there today. I killed the cousin. And I had Joanne find him, find the body, deal with the arrogant inspector, and have Luke come in to make them stop giving her a hard time. The death occurs off-scene – but sort of on phone – but Joanne is the one who finds the body on the beach. Two deaths in such a short period.

But then I ended with Joanne discovering that her mother, who she has spent 21 years thinking died on the property where her father, uncle and aunt all died, along with her sister and female cousin, is in fact alive! However, she has spent the intervening time in prison. And, more to the point, her grandmother knew all along and never told Joanne about it. But things are being rushed through so they can see one another and meet up for the first time since Joanne saw her mother help kill her sister and cousin. It’s about to get tense… and depressing.

This story is almost writing itself.

So, only a four thousand words today, but tomorrow I have the day (hopefully) all to myself and we’ll see how we can go writing there.
