I think I've kicked into "novel" gear. I've managed to stretch on a scene for about six pages now, without it being ridiculous. I'm pretty amazed at myself. I'm tempted to go back and try and flesh out more of the beginning, but I keep telling myself that I can go back and do that *after* I write out the story.
Am very proud of what I'm doing with it. It's exciting to think that I might just get a whole novel of my own creation written.
Was thinking about what my "inspirations" are for this novel, literature-wise. Hedda Gabbler by Ibsen is definitely one. But also, I think Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte factors in quite a bit...since I'm going for a much "darker" tone with the book overall. I might have to go re-read Wuthering Heights when all is said and done, since I love the living daylights out of that book. (That, and Pride and Prejudice...the two books I'd take with me if I were to get stranded and die.)
WIP - Ended at 7443 today. Was shooting for 7500, but got a bit of sad news tonight and don't feel like continuing. Still way ahead so...

You've got some good momentum going there, Sarah. You go, girl!
Thanks! I'm trying to milk it while I can.
