Character from nowhere

Okay, I just had a character show up, who has apparently been a part of the story for a while. Weird.

Maddy and Michael slept in until ten o clock in the morning, when they heard a loud banging on the door.

“Hey, you guys in there?” it was Stretch, Michael's cop friend from Boston who has not been in the book until just now, but we are going to pretend that he has.

Some words...

“Let me take off my make up.”

“No, please keep it on, I am developing quite the fetish for clowns.”

Looking at this makes me happy!

From the book, what prose, what promise

Richard laughed, a sardonic staccato cadence that pierced through Warren’s red haze.


what crap!

Where did this come from?

Sally first visited Richard and the Amazing Zarnos, spreading invective and lies, then she spoke with her father and told him that Richard belongs to this land, and he is the company Lion. We can use him for anything we need to do so.


Just so you know, Sally's father is not in the book. (My book, the book I am writing.) There is no lion, no company.

Just a little message from my subconscious.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Fun Facts:
I am behind by 11,278. I need to write 27,948 more words before I make the 50,000 goal.*

If I kept writing at this pace, I would reach 50,000 by December 16th.

*And the actual best part of this is that the words I write don't need to be good. They just need to be written. Good thing.
