sleeplesspotatoI'd lost track of how delayed this is; lots of things have happened IRL. ^^;; Anyway, here goes.
Castlevania OT3. I joined Camp NaNo, which helped give me some structure to the rest of this month; I now have (low) weekly word count goals that should add up to roughly 2 chapters by the end of July, or maybe 1 chapter and around half of the next depending on how wordy I get. I should have finished days 18-20 of 21 Days to a Novel prior -- day 21 is technically the day you start writing -- so it's like I skipped ahead a bit. Fwiw I'm revisiting the exercises for those last few days while I'm writing chapter 2; it turns out that even if I've completed all the prior exercises I'm still a bit hazy on what counts as a "world event" and how the characters react to it. (I'd initially interpreted this as events in the characters' lives, but I might have gotten that wrong; it probably means things like "this town was invaded by night creatures," to which my OT3 would respond with "and they kicked the night creatures' asses and enjoyed it.") As always I'm figuring things out as I'm going along and somehow making it all work (I hope).
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying writing the initial "we're enemies how can I be attracted to him" bits, maybe more than I should. ^^;; I haven't written enemies-to-lovers before; I might be having too much fun with it.
