If I don't finish this story I will die.

I never, never ever plan my stories out. Ever. I always go with the flow, you know?


Well, last year I completed three novels 30,000-50,000 words each.


This year, what have I completed: Starting 30+ stories all with like three chapters. The longest thing I've completed was 10,000 words or something.


Unless you count a co-written story which was actually longer than anything I've written before. But I only wrote half so.


So, last weeks, I got an idea (maybe I've been watching too much tv..) but basically, its called Freefall, "its Freefall and do it all again" when though that line has nothing to do with that story. But anywho, its about a boy named River who hooks up with a girl name Bridget, and the next day Bridget is dead, suspected as suicide. Kendall, Bridget's sister, is sure that Bridget was murdered, at first she suspects its River, but when she finds out its not, they team up to find out who really killed her and why.


I spent literally two entire days writing a character description (like 500+ words each) on every character mentioned in the story  and planned out every chapter.


I've never outlined a story before so lets see how that works out.


I also wrote the first chapter five times. I never re-read or re-write my work. Ever, not until I finish an entire story, unless I really hate it. So, I wrote five 2,000+ word chapter (which is really, really short for me..) then sent them all to my best friend, and she picked her favorite chapter.


Except, the only thing is I don't know who the killer should be?


So, yeah, I've never work this hard before so I'm gonna die if I don't finish this story.

I even spent half and hour making a 200 song writing playlist.
