Mother in law has gone back home for 2 months, which means no gaming, but oddly I have found myself with time to return back to my book. I havent written any new material, as I am writing up notes I made back in October 2005. Has it really been that long, 3 months. It feels like a lifetime.
I imagine I have enough notes to keep me busy until next week, but then the printing and writing begins again. I was working on the chapter where I introduce the main antagonist. The interesting part of this character, is that he evolves from being the antagonist to the "hero", to being the protagonist. It is a difficult road to walk/write, but Im hoping positive feedback from my muses will assist in making sure Norreys isn't the fool he initially presented himself as.
I am at 103,000 words, and while my original deadline of November 2006 was missed by a mile, I am going to be more realistic and say, December 2007, the final draft to be completed. Of the 35 chapters scheduled, only 4 have been written to a draft standard, but they are not in sequence as yet. Still wrestling with the prologue as it sets the tone for the whole novel.
Anyway, with my RPG gaming group on hold (we were playing WHFRP v2.0 to great enjoyment), the writing takes the forefront. I used to write on the train during the 3 hour commute, but having now changed jobs this is virtually impossible. Im starting the gym this week too, so I need a way to exercise and write/vocalise my ideas at the same time. Any ideas?
