After the bike drama, I decided nothing else could go wrong and thought, hey, lets upgrade my writing blog with an hour to go before Nanowrimo! HAHA, OH KOL. ( Why yes, 2008, I didn't forget you, please stop reminding me how much you suck. :DD )
It feels good to be twisting plots and characters around. Roleplaying is satisfying, don't get me wrong, but there's something so delicious about ripping into a project that is completely your own and confidently tearing away your character's dignities and pushing them into resolutions. I am all for resolutions and character growth, but too often these things get ditched for focusing on events and plots (which is probably why we had so much problem with the Seal breaking in Kingdom, come to think of it). There's a lot of *talking* about redemption, but not enough *writing* it.
But back to the tasty novel sandwich. I haven't written anything in the draft, but around 1 I opened up Scrivener and began unraveling Wil and Ty and discovered some juicy subplots I will be working on tomorrow. Admittedly I did this mostly because I had no idea what the first scene should be, beyond a hazy idea for something with Terrie. I'm so glad I took the time to ponder the boys. Taking the time to stitch up the back can make all the difference with a writing project.
That, and I feel less like Akemi stumbling in the forest without her glasses.
