Working on my project · 4:53pm Jun 17th, 2020
So earlier today, I worked a bit more on chapter 6. It occurs to me that it's important for me to know how Trixie is gonna act once they make it back to the cottage as well as exactly what sort of mother she would be. And so I brainstormed a bit to figure out where she would excel and what areas she could be better at. I also took into account Cozy's superior intelligence and figured out what she would likely do about these issues. I think that before I start writing this tomorrow, I should probably get an idea on these things. It also occurs to me that Trixie is a former show pony. As such, she will try to "sell herself" to Cozy and Cozy will likely see right through this. As such, things could get interesting here...
You know, I never really thought this project would get this big? It all started out with just me staring at a blank Word page and wanting to tell a story. Now there's multiple files, backup copies saved onto another server, a "staff" of sorts, a blog here to log down everything, several diary entries, and additional notes here and there! This is crazy and I really don't wanna stop! I want the world to know what should've happened... But that's exactly why my later chapters tend to be a lot cleaner. Because I prepare very well before I publish.
I was thinking earlier that my mother always wanted me to do something creative and often mentioned Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets... I think she would really enjoy my story. But the ironic thing about that is, if she hadn't died in such a horrific fashion (slow painful death of brain cancer right before my eyes), I wouldn't have had the necessary trauma to get all of this out of me? Still, I often entertain thoughts about what she might say to me if she ever read my creation... I imagine she would be proud of me? I mean, I'm doing something creative just like she always wanted right?
