    Aaaand progress. Kind of.

    So I'm blocked, a bit.

    I've got this Act 2 prologue, right? I know exactly how it goes down. I know who's involved, I know the beginning, middle and end, I know who the POV is, who the antagonist is, what the scenario is, and how it all pans out.

    It's the damned details, you know?

    "I love deadlines.

    I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by." - Douglas Adams.

    Life happens. Thursday came and went, and since horse-word fan-fictions are as yet not able to pay my many and sundry bills, I was forced to reprioritize a bit in order to keep the lights on. I figure if Douglas Adams can be a bit cavalier about missing his deadlines, at least I'm in good company.

    Exciting!

    Act 2 prologue nearly done. Minus one minor section it’s content-complete, and the rest of the scenework has gone through multiple edit passes. Chapter will be content-complete tonight, edits will happen tonight and tomorrow morning, and I’ll post tomorrow afternoon.

    Act 2 is going to be a hell of a ride.

    Act 2 Prologue Homestretch

    6400 words, multiple edit passes. A bit of content left to slam in, but that's a major motivational fix in and a much more compelling... transformation... for a character who's turning into my favorite anti-hero.

    Expect the prologue for Act 2 this week - and then things really start to heat up. Figuratively speaking, of course. Also possibly literally.

    Holidays and the Flu

    Deathless update status: 6k words and nearing draft completion. I like where it went, but it’s rough, so it’ll need a couple of editorial passes, but release is in sight. Had to spend some extra cycles on this one, because it hints at a lot of things that happen later, and character motivation isn’t something you want to get wrong. Poor Hurricane.

Aaaand progress. Kind of. · 5:27pm Mar 22nd, 2018

So I'm blocked, a bit.

I've got this Act 2 prologue, right? I know exactly how it goes down. I know who's involved, I know the beginning, middle and end, I know who the POV is, who the antagonist is, what the scenario is, and how it all pans out.

It's the damned details, you know?

I've got three unique versions of it that I'm working on right now. They're each flawed in uniquely different ways, and they're incompatible enough that I can't just mush the good parts together and call it a chapter. Each time I read through what I've got, I'm tempted to create yet another version (this is why I've already got three) because yet another idea occurs to me, so I head-fake left, go right, start the new version, and about 2/3 of the way in I think - man this is almost it, but it's missing [this good part from one of the earlier versions].

Now, I know about 'perfect being the enemy of good' and all that so at some point I'll bite the bullet, put in a feverish day of writing and get something I can live with out there so we can finally... FINALLY... start getting to the good stuff in Act 2. But until then...

... hm maybe if I do it this way...
