In The Garden Living an RPG Life

   Word count/1893finally

Today’s plan? First, I realized that the story is in three parts.  There’s the quiet part, the actual disturbance, and the aftermath. I’ve given each of them a title to remind me.  I also have been able to see, finally, how the third party begins and what part of the whole story they tell.  It’s the Bard and the Monk.  I am looking forward to telling the Bard’s part of the story.  This is where I want to tell more about the legends and about travelling.  Question is, how much of what is to come do I tell?  We’ll see!

It felt much better today waiting to write.  I have the drawing project to worry about which seems to take the place of fussing about story.  Word count for the day is a bit over the minimum.  I’ve managed to get the party into the aquifer.  I was hoping to post the word count before midnight, but it didn’t happen.  Not long after though.  I still think my anticipation has dampened my enthusiasm.  I seem to have started the whole process too early.  Or, it’s the idea that this is the last of so many, and finishing means too much.

I seem to have been making up for lacking sleep, today.  Fortunately, considering what I’ve written to fill up word count for yesterday and having sent the beginning off to Gretchen with approval, I have a feel for what comes next in the writing.  Thinking about how I feel, how I am unhappy with the tone of the opening, helped me see that I really do have a plan.  I have only got the girls into the meadow.  They still have to get to the aquifer.  Two days so far, three coming up. And I still have town to write.

This was my first write in for a long time.  A couple of familiar faces but mostly people I have never met before.  A pity that.  I would like to be able to write with someone.  I realized at the party that I really don’t like groups.  I prefer the intimacy of one or two people who know each other.  I did get all but a few words written before my laptop battery gave way.  It was a deliberate strategy to assure my getting to bed at a decent hour. I wrote enough, after sleep and work, to make goal.
