Is in only day three?

It seems astounding to me that it's only day three.

When I was plotting this project, I worked from the perspective that this novel was going to be a Young Adult novel. But the closer I got to the start date, the more and more I was thinking this could fall into the giant bucket that is known as "Literary Fiction". It's because I was seeing it more and more as a retrospective of an older person reflecting upon one of her life's crucial crossroads.

When I sat down to start writing, however, the story flowed naturally as a Young Adult story. The voice is that of a person who is living being a teen everyday, not someone that has learned from it. There is a feeling of immediacy, of having blinders on, that I think works well for the character.

I'm feeling pretty good about the story. It's definitely not about me but I do use little events from my life to color in her life where it makes sense.

Ask me in a week how it's going. :D
