Had a productive evening today! I brought two characters together who had yet to interact in the novel. Dr. Traviston interviewed Rodger for a solid 1500 words. I am getting close to the big reveal of why the patients on the plane versus those on the ground are reacting differently to the disease. Once they figure that out, I can cure the ones in the hospital and then let Dr. Traviston prove it in the lab.
I am tempted to start looking forward to the editing. I need to keep reminding myself that first step is to finish the novel. THEN edit it! I would love to have this first draft completely finished by the end of November. I was aiming for 60-80k total word count for the novel. The big problem, of course, being the massive rewrite I know is coming to change Dr. Traviston from a well seasoned doctor to a younger, inexperienced and more likely to cave to those around her doctor so that she can become the well seasoned version through the course of the novel.
