WIP Challenge Check-in -- Day 1

[linaewen]

It's September 1st -- time for a fresh start and a new month of achieving our writing goals!

How did you spend the first day of this new month?

• writing (want to share a word count?)
• planning (brainstorming, researching, outlining)
• editing
• posting
• taking a break
• reading someone else's writing
• dealing with non-writing things on your To Do List

Discussion question for the day:

 

Have you ever killed off a major character in one of your stories?  If so, was it planned from the beginning?  Something unplanned but that you realized would be a good idea at some point?  How did your readers deal with that character's death?  Was it obvious to them or unexpected?

P.S. Sorry for being late with this check in post.  I wanted to do it earlier in the day, but it turned out to be one of the worst "One of Those Days" I've had in awhile -- and I've had plenty!  ;-)

Only wrote around 250 words for my Big Bang, but considering I was away most of tonight and I have to sleep early for my doctor's appointment tomorrow, I'm surprised I'm able to get something done. I did however quickly edit one of the stories after my beta looked through it and posted it before work, wee.

I haven't done a main character death yet because the plot doesn't call for it. If I were to do one though, I would plan out how I'll go about it in advance.
