Second Day VBIAM Reminder

"Daily Exercise:
Free Writing - pick up a pen and paper, or type on a computer, about any story idea you want. Don't stop to think, just write for 10 minutes. Do not write nonsensical stuff such as 'I have nothing to say' instead this free writing exercise should consist of a story. You will be amazed at what happens when you have no agenda, no ideas about perfection"

Wrote for 10 minutes on Lilly's background, her life frozen in time, her boss and mentor, and a little on her cheating x-husband. He is definitely a subplot. Lilly and her boss Morgan's interactions move the story forward and give information to tell the story.
