Hit the 10k word mark on Secret.\u00a0 The next scene will be the one that\u00a0brings together the threads of most of the plot, and the scene after that will be the next day — Earth Day.\u00a0 With this family, you know what that means:\u00a0 Sex time!\u00a0 *laugh*<\/p>\n
Might have been part of the way into the sex tonight, except that I wrote a block of about a thousand words that I ended up backspacing.\u00a0 The original way I’d planned the scene\u00a0just wasn’t coming across as realistic to me as I wrote it.\u00a0 I took a nap, took the scissors to it, and came at it from a different angle that works much better, but still has all the same basic elements.<\/p>\n
Then I just need to show the final resolution of conflict, the last little bit of character development for young Daniel, and wrap it all up.<\/p>\n
After that, I’ll put my main focus on another story — whichever one sings to the me most, and let this one simmer for a couple of days.\u00a0 Then, I’ll go back and dress up the scenery, address the theme of the contest in a bit stronger terms, and finalize the first draft.<\/p>\n
Then, I’ll farm it out for first reads, make adjustments, and get it off to Roust.<\/p>\n
Hope everyone finds this a worthy addition to the Magic of the Wood series.\u00a0 I’m really enjoying the new characters, and of course I enjoy all the continuing ones.\u00a0 It’s hard not to love Daniel, Xantina, Xanbrina, Xankia, and all the rest\u00a0*grin*<\/p>\n
