God Experiment

Completed - 1266 words

This scene had Evan thinking about almost being shot. He felt the breeze of the bullet pass his face. And what really blew his mind was that she missed on purpose. He had to confront that if Ayrien had killed him, Terese probably still would not done anything to her daughter. And he had to realize that he still trusted Terese, even though he knew her daughter came first.

He thought about his dad, which I hadn't planned on writing but it came out. It was ok. The final piece was that he was resolved that he was going to have to catch Ayrien. He was going to have to be smarter than two better trained and more experienced spies. And when he shot at Ayrien, he wasn't going to miss.


Other thoughts. I think I might be cheating writing scenes and not just outlining for NaNoWriMo. But I have two thoughts. I have this real sketchy outline in my head that I still have not committed to paper because these exercises and leading me in new directions everyday. I plan on rewriting and adding other scenes that I know what I am going to write but am not going to write in the lead up to NaNoWriMo. And secondly, if I am cheating...I am doing it in the spirit of the effort. NaNoWriMo is a celebration of creativity and goal setting. I'm doing that right now and I am going to try to push through the remaining 5 weeks until November and then the 30 days of that month. I have never completed a novel and have full confidence that this attempt I am currently on will either be entirely successful or the closest I come to success in my life. That is worth it.
