Day 2

I have started the story in the middle of a car accident. A head-on collision which kills one person and critically injures my protagonist.

I've introduced three living characters as they experience the accident - well, two of them are involved, the other is called.

I like the changes in perspective, as I am inside the heads of all three, but only one (protagonist) is told through first-person. Sounds more confusing than it is. It gives me the opportunity to explore the complexities of each story. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd have some pretty flat characters. Nobody wants that.

I'm still working on a title. I don't think I can give it one until I've spent a little more time with the story though. Especially with my main characters Lane, Rick & Samuel. Lane is the protagonist. Her name might be part of the title... We will see.

Long day tomorrow, but I will be up early to work on this some more. I like where the characters are taking me, although I think I need a research assistant. I need to know some medical information that wiki can't teach me. Perhaps I need to get in good with a doctor or two. Preferably a spinal cord injury specialist and a reproductive specialist. Intrigued yet?
