Writing

Two characters that I intended to be passing side characters, have suddenly become integral to the story. I see lots of possibilities for one of them.

Yesterday, and this morning, were rough. I was distracted with the news, and lots of things needing done around the house. I came home after work and got a lot done, then sat down to re-work the combat scene I was stuck on. I'm happy with what I got down, and now excited to get to the next bit of the story.

I'm having a difficult time wording this battle scene so it makes sense. I'll probably give it another once over tomorrow.

I only had a short time to write, but it was nice to do it first thing in the morning. I'm hoping I can start getting up early enough to make that a regular thing.

I went back to the map I drew, added in some things, and figured out what to do. I like where things went here. Went back through and added in a few small changes.

Kinda stuck again. Not sure what to do about travel. I don't want to simply skip ahead.

957 words today.

I got a little stuck today. I spent a few hours letting it simmer, and finally managed to going again. I've found that playing some ambient stuff on Youtube helps.

It's been pretty helpful for locking out the world and just being in my head with the story.

That's about all.

I made a lot of small revisions, and added some details. I also started drawing a map of the world.

Went back through and started sprinkling little tidbits of backstory in my dialog. I have quite a bit of backstory for the world written up in my lexicon, and a whole lot of details about other things going on in the world while my main character is doing her thing.
