New Goal

Goal: 100,000+ words.
Current: 882 words.

I want to be able to write a large novel and not just a little one that people can get through within the span of two or three hours. Is that so wrong of me? I don't think so. But that means I'll need to start planning some things out and making lists of different aspects that I need to touch upon and actually take my time with it instead of rushing. I think I'm going to wind up combining the aspects of all of the novels/series that I truly love together to form the core story.

-Establish relationships.
-Introduce more characters. (Sarah - other good friend, Adam - 'new' boy that she knew from middle school)
-Cat named Juliet.
-Dealing with school. (School project - stressful)
-Get back together with Landon.
-Talk/interaction more with mother.
-Introduction to the new land.
-Discovery of faeries and other magical beings.
-Go back to the 'real' world and try to focus on school, but Adam continuously tries to force her to go back to Taimberlain.
-Discover the real threat, and how her father was the one trying to fight it.
-Prepare to fight and bring down that evil force.
-Have doubts and want to go back, and resist the urge to make a move on Adam.
-Lovable character dies.
-The primary threat is wounded/presumably dead.

SECOND NOVEL:
-The threat rises back from the shadows.
-Discovery of the other lands aside from Taimberlain.
-Adam dies at the end.
