WIP report: 6 June 2021

Castlevania OT3. Bit distracted by work this week, though I was able to get through the first 8 days (aka Blitzkrieg characterization) of 21 Days to a Novel; I had more fun than I thought I would, partly at the characters' expense. (Oh Trevor, you are gonna be trolled so hard. XD) I'm inclined to think of the castle itself as a fourth character since my version is sentient and has what I can loosely describe as a personality, but fleshing it out might be beyond me, so it can stay as a supporting character who helps or hinders my OT3 as it sees fit. I'm definitely looking forward to completing as many of the remaining exercises as I can so I can flesh out the plot, which is more or less taking shape in the back of my mind. I might still be surprised by what comes out once I'm back to writing -- that happens a lot more often than it should ._.() -- but I'm hoping I can get the effect that I'm aiming for once I'm there.

I love sentient locations, like castles or towns or caves or whatnot. Something that has an intelligence, and its own goals or wants, but doesn't go about it in an exactly human way.

I'm glad you're having fun with it!
