Unforgiven - What are you looking for? · 4:59am Apr 1st, 2016
For anyone who cares to answer:
What is it that you enjoy in the story? And what are you looking for when a new chapter comes up?
I know that dialog heavy scenes aren't for everybody, (I call them 'talkies') I often find myself skipping through dense talkie scenes too. But I make sure that every time I subject you guys to scenes where a lot of talking and exposition gets done, that it serves the greater plot. I do not like to put stuff in just for filler, I view it as wasting both our time.
I like to do action stuff, and they're more than plenty in store, (trust me, A LOT), but action and fights can't be 'the story', they can only ever accentuate it. So going forward I want to explore a range of tones, but it is all one story.
Plus I'm just in the mood to ramble.

Continued descriptive writing that paints a good picture of the world around the focused characters and bigger and bigger chapters. Don't take that last one as a demand, but I have noticed the chapters do seem to be getting progressively larger. That last one was bigger than chapter 1 and 2 put together.
By "world around the focused character" do you mean headcanon/world building stuff? Their perspective of events? Or literally the environment the scene is taking place in?
I don't want the chapters to get too big. not just for ease of the reader, but because I want the story to progress at a certain pace. Though I do think I'm going to have to pump up the next few, I don't want TU:1 to be super long, but I do have to move things along to bring in this sections villain. So the one I'm working on now will probably be as long, or a bit longer than the last. And quite frankly I'm eager to get started on The Unforgiven II: "Dark Days"
