I didn’t get a chance to write since my last post on Wednesday. Thanks to Thanksgiving and working Thursday night at Wally’s World until 11 then back there at 1:30 PM Friday for the rest of Black Friday. I was tired, I could have easily written if I got up earlier, but I needed those hours. I went into work at 8:30 am today and even more tired. I have to go back in tomorrow at the same time. However, I managed to put some words to paper or words on software… doesn’t sound as good. I wrote 1898 words today in about an hour. I added them to chapter 14. I thought that chapter needed a little more before it ended, I loved how it ended before I added to it, but I thought it needed to be longer. Maybe in the second draft when I add more to the main scene of the chapter will I get it long enough to justify ending it where I originally did.
As for the 1898 words I wrote, I thought that were pretty decent. I am know when I reread it in January I’ll find a lot of stuff that needs to be reworked or even rewritten, but as of writing I thought they came out good. I got exactly what I wanted the scenes to be, and not give too much away. I really liked how the character Alclien’s personality was portrayed to what happened. It really shows what kind of person he is and how he got to the position he is in. While I am enjoying the characterization of Alclien, Ryan needs to be fleshed out a little more, I think that will come in a few chapters when he gets to finally see some action along side Zack.
There is not much else to say, then that. Tomorrow I’ll start chapter 15, and hopefully catch up to where I was on the draft of this story I wrote back in 2009.
