There is a type of pain that comes with watching your character struggle through a hard moment.

I know that I have planned out this book including the character arcs and how it will feel, but these homies are having more feelings and doubts than I planned for.

Part of me wants to comfort them and reassure them that there is love out there for even the worst of them.

But also, look at me creating fictional angst to make my reader’s heart feel heavy. Woohooo!! I am a villain of my own making.

So what did I do today?

Well, you can call be Big Daddy, because I made that thang work for me. Okay, that sounds weird, but I am not changing it because I am a strange creature.

I made a new achievement today. We reached 15,000 words!! Go us!

Word Count: 15,055 words

See you tomorrow, friends
