Hah! Who says we can't write?
Thursday, November 13, 2003I broke Ten Thousand words today. Only 40,000 more to go. And only...oh, 18 or so days. Oh, sure, I'm going to make it. Snork. I also wrote 2,000 words of book reviews today. Does that count? Writing, for me, is the most fun when you find these little relevations. When Sorenna comes home from a really lousy meeting at the village, she goes down to the beach, where she sees Drachen, her husband, is really a Mirrim...which is what I'm calling mer people. She doesn't run away shrieking, thank god, and they had what was one of the sweetest, nicest scenes I'd ever written. So it was way depressing when I parted them. The big shock I got today was when Sorenna told the Mirrim woman she's about to free that she's looking for her husband because she's pregnant...that floored me. I was just typing, typing the scene, and before my mind really caught onto what was happeneing, Sorrenna opens her mouth and out comes this huge relevation. Now I have to go back and write in her being sick and dizzy...and we'll have to write on to find out whether she's really pregant (which should be impossible, I mean, she's human, Drachen, well, isn't.) or if she's just sick. And we have to be careful because we don't want to use, wholesale, any real romance conventions.... Permalink Cindy scribed this at 6:41 PM 0 comments |
