I just thought I was ready for Kick-Off! YIKES!!! It's almost here! Only an hour and half left! I never did settle completely on the Hônaunau plot, but I think I'm going to use this last bit of time to name my protagonist and just run with it. The weekend was sickly inspiring, so I doubt I'll have to struggle for feeling. But I do need to have something to work with. Goals for tonight:

• 2,000 words
• introduce protagonist
• begin character sketch (not necessary to flesh her out!)
• establish immediate setting
• reveal emotional/mental state
