New story

I started a new story on Sunday. I have written 11 pages already. It is flowing pretty good. It is kind of a homecoming story for a guy with issues. He has lived away from his hometown for over ten years. He is having to start over from scratch. No it's not autobiographical. It seems that as I write I am able to fix things quicker. I write for a while then I edit what I have written. I woke up this morning with some ideas. I turned the computer on then went to make coffee. I went and added to my notes to the story so I wouldn't forget the ideas. I have done a character list with each persons background. I also have a plot trajectory. This is new for me. I usually just wing my story going from a start I usually have and an end point I am aiming for. I actually had numerous key plot points that will shape the trajectory of the story. I am open to changes as I wrote. I already discovered something about a main character I hadn't originally planned on.

Went to another counseling session today. My stupid printer wouldn't work so I couldn't print my journal. The receptionist would let print off my thumb drive on her computer. I understand, viruses and all. We talked about life goals, finances, work and my surgery today. She wants me to visualize a successful outcome for my surgery everyday leading up to the surgery. I'll play along. I know visualizing works with pro athletes. I haven't heard from my friend for a couple of days and I am worried. Hope they are okay.

Peace
