Well guys, I've done it!
Oh, what's that? Chapter 41? No, that's not what I meant. I meant I made a completely pointless phan-video using a soundtrack song from He's There. It was my way of not-working on Chapter 41 yesterday. I like it lots, though. :D It's all about Erik and Christine's wonderful relationship and Erik getting his ass handed to him. I hope the irony isn't lost on anyone.
It was very hard to find clips of Christine and Meg. I only had three movies (Charles, Robert, and Julian) at hand and only one movie has a Meg, and don't get me wrong -- they're adorable together there, but they talk very little, so that's why it's a little choppy.

In other news, I'm sort of struggling. I'm looking over Chapter 40, not particularly happy with it, and starting to think I might be able to extend it or something and get more in. This whole NaNo experience has been happening and I've been doing well writing like a thousand words a day, but let me tell you -- doing this chronologically is really tough. I'm still completely STUCK on what exactly happens during this time and I wish I had someone to talk to about it. It's like... I know what happens at a certain point and some things that lead up to it, but it's so much juggling between topics in my head and tying them together adeptly like a real writer. I've written excerpts, but I'm just not an excerpt-girl.
I've read tips about how to wrack up the word count, like skipping around, not getting too attached to what happens since you're clearly fixing everything majorly later... That's just not my style. I'm way attached; this is my baby. I like feeling a passion the whole way through and having a strong plot, and better yet, writing EVERY scene with sturdy knowledge of what happened before because that's how 1st POV comes off believable. Gragghg.
Maybe I should talk to my beta about it? I know that we didn't plan on her reviewing to be about ideas or helping me brainstorm, but it was along those lines: character development, continuity, things making sense... If she's not available, does anyone else want to? :D
Well, here's the count:
6775 / 50000 words. 14% done!

"I make my existence itself a gift to you. If you won't accept it, I have no purpose."
"Please don't say that."
"You should know it."
"It shouldn't be true."
"I'm all things that shouldn't, aren't I."
