Meeting New Friends ... and Killing Them
So goes the old recruiting poster joke; it's also how my novel's coming along.
Last night (Day 4) I found out something about my main villain: He doesn't like really old people.
Reverend Gantt visits a retirement home and one of the residents is a semi-vegetative guy in a wheelchair. The guy is staring off into space in Gantt's general direction and it creeped him out. Didn't know that when I started writing the section.
I've mapped out the scene where Gantt dies, but haven't "officially" written it yet.
4 days, 19% done. At this rate I'll hit 50,000 words around the 20th.
