It's a nice day to start again
Jan. 3rd, 2011 04:01 pmDespite the best attempts of cedar (Juniperus ashei), I'm still alive. Kingdoms is due at the end of the month, so even if I don't post metrics, I'm writing every day. It will pretty much take a miracle to have a draft by the 31st, but I don't actively disbelieve in miracles, so who knows.
I've spent the past week rewriting the first few chapters, which is an exercise in frustration, but a necessary one. The character who'd been giving me the most trouble just got a sex-change, which seems to have made him (now her) more talkative. I also figured out what my antags are doing, which lets me turn the tension up a couple notches. (It was previously at zero notches, so this can only be a step in the right direction.) Now I just have to get everything in order and start knocking things down.
