It is pissing down rain, and a large pond has formed in a depression next to one of the sycamore trees behind my apartment building. (It always does this when there's heavy rain). I glanced out the window a minute ago, and there's something strange in the middle of the pond. After some squinting, I figured out it is...a duck.
Boy, is he going to be disappointed when it stops raining. |

Within the last few hours, Incarnation has developed:
-A third viewpoint character
-A brand-new set of character traits for Leonan (this is why my character profiles do not work; I can know what the character is like up until the moment of the story's beginning, but once they get on the page and start acting, they change)
-A brand-new side-plot that links up with the third viewpoint character, thanks to said viewpoint character's monumentally stupid brother (sometimes you just need a character who's an idiot, and Mynhaw doe Tyjhan is mine)
I used to stress over the fact that I don't really work with an outline, because it seemed all "real writers" did, and there are advantages to it, like being able to jump ahead and write a part of the story that you know is going to matter soon and which you're in the right mood for writing. I can't do that, because I don't know what is going to happen ahead of my writing it. But working in partnership with a story like this suits me just fine.
Yay. |
