Book stuff
Feb. 6th, 2005 02:20 pmI've spent most of my writing time this weekend adding in character journals and adjusting them to fit. I've discovered that there were some pretty big holes in what we all wrote last summer/fall. For instance, there's a huge scene missing where Salvatore offers the bat astrologer a position on his ship. I'm in the midst of writing it right now.
So far, I've converted some three thousand words' worth of journals to chapter format, changing mostly minor stuff but also cutting some things that didn't fit. I've got the bluebooking between Annarisse and Rianna, and also between Annarisse and Salvatore. In total, this section will run at least five thousand more words, maybe a third of which is already written.
This part isn't fun, at the moment. There are "let's get through this to move the plot along" scenes in every book, and I'm in the midst of several. They're necessary down-time after the big climax of sinking the Corrado, but they're boring to write. I should get to the encounter with the bats later this afternoon, though. That will be more fun.
Oh, and if any player-characters have a problem with me using bluebooking you wrote, speak now or forever hold your peace. I've been cutting and pasting like there's no tomorrow. :) You'll all get acknowledgements and such, of course.
