Telling stories

7958 words so far, but I am concerned I am putting too much description in. I don't want it to start too slow.

But you have to introduce characters and non standard modern day settings.

The writing is making me feel so much better. Even with little bear being very. Just very. Even if the story doesn't get off to a storming start, the therapy it is giving me is excellent.

(Also, not doom, gloom angst and introspection. More looking towards mystery and action. And possibly knitting).

Average length of a modern novel is around 100,000 words, so I am not a tenth in and I have had two deaths so far, and a love interest, so I suppose it could be worse.
