    Caught up!

    Hey all,

    I finally finished reworking the chapters of Mothership Eta I had previously published, and I'm now ready to continue putting new stuff down! I'll admit progress was slow; it's much less exciting to edit than it is to create. There were a couple of pieces of advice that stuck in my mind as I was working:

    Hey all,
    It's not exactly one year since I started posting on this site, but close enough. I wanted to share my thoughts on everything that's changed between then and now.

    Oops. Or, learning vocabulary with Tunneling Carp!

    I have discovered that the word platitudes does not mean what I thought it did. Oops. Went ahead and changed that. We'll just put that down to equine mistranslation of divine words...:twilightsheepish:

Character development · 1:24am Apr 19th, 2021

Hi all,
I've reached the end of chapter 4, but like before, I'm going to wait a few days to release it so I can make sure it ties into chapter 5 well enough.
Well. Rusty is turning out to be even scummier than I had been thinking. I'm kind of surprised myself at how chapter 4 ended, I sure didn't plan it this way. I'm actually having to push back some of the plot into later chapters than I thought it would be. But honestly I'm pretty happy having to do that, it gives me more time to explore the characters, rather than the setting. It's odd, just by having a goal for Dewdrop and Rusty to hit, I'm able to fill in the blanks while getting there with more than I had ever planned! I find it fascinating to see them develop a personality, at least in my own mind. Whether I'm able to properly convey that into the fic is another matter...
And we're finally going to see combat pretty soon. It's been a while, and what's FoE without some fighting?
