Finally, I beat my fifteen-year-old self
Well today I passed 6532 words which was where my last attempt at fiction ended almost ten years ago. That attempt dealt with detention, young weddings, child abuse, and um, alternate realities.
In other news, I finally figured a way around having only one character ... introducing another character I hadn't planned on showing up for another 5000 words and having a good chunk of the story flow from her perspective. Writing from this character's point of view removes a lot of the mystery I had intended for her when she initially showed up, but opens up a lot of interesting story directions.
So, have any of you changed the perspective that your story is being told from to spice things up?
