1 Dec 2013 09:08 pmI don't know if it is because I'm not in a writing headspace now (and haven't been for a more than a year now, I think), I'm having the hardest time getting this chapter right. It is the same one I've been going over and over, trying to find an opening that I like, that leads to a sequence of events that is all the things an introduction to a POV needs to be.
Instead of writing this week, I've been thinking a lot, hashing out fuzzy plot bits in hopes of gaining clarity for the opening. I've come up with some important stuff, but so far, the shape of the scene--what needs to be in it, what will interest and not overwhelm the readers--is still escaping me.
I finally had the idea of approaching it as if I plan to tell only Baxente's story, as if there are not four other POVs in the trilogy. I think I'm on to something and will try to pursue it more this week.
However, the Christmas season has begun, and we're doing advent with Sprout this year. I plan on posting every day (maybe) about what activity we are doing. So between doing the activities and other projects (like sewing), we'll see how much time Ihave make for writing.
