Yesterday was a bit of a struggle; my word count was low but I think I’m to be forgiven, considering it’s a holiday week and there are distractions (both good and bad) happening all around.
Today was scary because I knew I had to start writing Jack’s POV, otherwise, I’d never start it and the sequel to Fagin’s Boy would end up being a single POV story, and I didn’t want that. So I futzed around a bit and then, took a breath, and started. And found out, through Jack’s voice, just how much he’s in love with Oliver. Like, A Lot.
Here’s to hoping that Jack won’t get his heart broken by his Uptown Boy.
