I am ahead of schedule after falling a little behind. I was on a roll last night, and probably could have squeezed out a few more paragraphs, but I was on the laptop, and my legs were getting too warm. I’m resisting the temptation to sneak in a few hundred words at work this year, however I might do a little during lunch, which I feel is legitimate.
So what of the story. So far I have been mainly writing character introductions. Only for a coupe of the main characters so far. The others might get more of a look in on the second draft. Oooo ‘ark at ‘im with his second draft talk. I have just started to sketch out some of the main locations too. There are some places I really want to get in there, but the time isn’t right. There’s also some scenarios I want, but am resisting using them too soon. The story will have to play out.
Fortunately the fact that the characters are developing a life of their own has made it easier to work in some useful plot devices which are far better than I could have contrived without their help. I’m glad these guys don’t have DNA as the possibility they might get cloned is far too disturbing to contemplate.
Well, in the words of the overused phrase, Onwards and Upwards.
