Today, my main characters arrived by train at a fishing village. They met two old people, one friendly, one grumpy, both of whom will probably not come into the rest of the story. Still, I was pleased with the little bits of characterization I did for them.
I also realized today that I have much more backstory for one of my main characters than the other. He is the title character and a core element of what got me excited about this story, whereas the other character has less to do. The Watson to his Sherlock, although hopefully not nearly as much of a bystander as Watson usually is. I need to work on developing that character more.
I finished this day in two different writing sessions, and it did feel much easier to hit my word count by splitting it up like that. Unfortunately, I think the different sessions will also have slightly different tones and will have to be adjusted in revision.
