Novel update

I didn't get a chance to write over most of the weekend, but I was about a day ahead going in to Friday, so I'm back on track after a couple hours of writing tonight. The novel is VERY dialogue heavy, and feels more like an adaptation of a movie at this point, so I may re-write it into a movie script in a few months.

I'm REALLY starting to like the characters, and I have to be careful not to let one of the minor female characters overpower the novel. She's fun to write, funny and probably someone that I would spend a lot of my time with if she weren't fictional.

The plot is clearly defined now, and I have three Big Plot events that will happen over the writing, one in chapter 4, one in chapter 8 and the last one will be the fulcrum point where everything comes together and builds toward resolution. However, my goal this time out was to write witty characters, and have nothing "unreal" happen in the novel, and I'm pretty sure I can stick to that goal.

I also have not written a sex scene (since so many of the people I know writing novels this year are already adding sex scenes in their books) but I did have a funny conversation between two characters about sex, so I may have more of THAT, since it was a lot more fun to write for me.
