Ado About Nothing
I have a long list of posts I want to write about the act of writing, about words, or about the lack of writing, but today I can happily write about having actually written!
In other words, chapter 4 is coming along wonderfully now that I’ve decided certain things are going to happen. Once again, things are knitting together the way they often did in book one – that is, without much effort on my part. Two large chunks for later in the chapter are already written and will need only minor tweaks to fit into the flow, and I’m thrilled because that means chapter 5 will be upon me soon, and after that, the world!
Or something.
Chapters 1-3 need huge revisions, which I remind myself of whenever I find I’m too proud of myself for having put letter after letter. They’re boring and don’t further the plot and I can certainly find more interesting ways to put people where they need to be. But after getting myself appropriately de-cheerified, I find solace in knowing that words are getting down on paper.
In other news, I drew a map of the Institute and I’m very happy with it. No guarantees it’ll stay this way, but for now it’s what I’m using to move my little soldiers around.
