The day started well enough. The words weren't as easy as the first day. I'd pretty well spent the brunt of the coming and going thoughts I'd had about the story, but once I got into it, things started rolling.

Using a road and map is helping me gauge how far I ought to be in the story. I've been trying to watch bits of movies to get ideas, but I don't know which to watch. I wasted a few minutes scrolling on YouTube and doing that will kill my plan. Mostly. I have an idea on some stuff that might help with visuals, maybe it's better if I can't think too far ahead, don't want to corner my cast or get derivative.

And the day's diary.
