One for Sorrow
"AKA the perils of working food service in a small town."
A novel, allegedly.

Featuring...
>Something in the woods? Gasp!
>Close-knit towns and the folks that just feel like a dropped stitch.
>A Totally Secret Relationship.
>Gratuitous descriptions of working food service.
>Body horror.


Goals:
>Write! A! Synopsis!
>Plan and draft the actual novel.
>Write about 500-1000 words a day.
>1-3 pages of a script would also be acceptable but I should take the time to format it properly.
>Make thumbnails for the book cover if there's time.


Directory:
>To be added.
>Title/chapter title inspiration
>A bird stole this link, keep it moving.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid.

**Update as of November 10th**
- 1,159 words written!
- I do wish I could've written more but I've had some health issues that interfered. Regardless, I'm experimenting with 3 different characters' POVs, including 2nd person POV and 3rd person POV. 2nd person is being very fun but a bit slow-going as I nail down the tone. 3rd person is less fun but I am still enjoying it immensely.
- A very loose first-act plot is coming together. Yippee!!!!
