Brainstorm on Sanctuary

I’d hit another drag point in Sanctuary of the Wood, and had a brainstorm today at work that got me past it.

It’s amazing what a small change of location can do.

I moved the scene from the tree fort to the pond, and it’s moving along nicely.  I was getting too distracted with the tree fort *laugh*

Had some flashes of inspiration on SOTM too.  Things are about to come to a boil, and I’m going to hit something I’ve been anticipating for a long time.  I’ve been wanting to tie a story into the larger narrative of Danica’s world ever since I wrote it, and knew how it was going to happen, but I just wasn’t at the right point in the story to do it.

That time is coming.

Really getting an itch to finish Lowborn as well, but Sanctuary has to have full front burner status until I finish it, because of the limited timetable and the long-standing tradition.

Experimenting with a few more things, but I’m close to having everything ready to get the LST3K pages online.  The big interactive feature – uRiff – won’t debut with the initial rollout, but I’ll have most of the elements I need for it ready to start coding when I feel like it.

Many of those same elements will be useful in the behind-the-scenes collaborative riffer coding that will let me work in semi-real time with other people to riff on stories.
