I’ve kind of lost my writing mojo over the summer (I have still been thinking about my characters and considering things of course but I couldn’t seem to get anything written down), but this evening I was feeling like “eh I could write” and then say down for over an hour and wrote a good half (probably more honestly) pf a scene that has been languishing as a five word idea in my extremely rough outline for literally months

Thank you, writing fairies, for smiling upon me today

#writing #I’m so glad I was able to write again #I was working on a scene with Ashling #and I’m going to be honest I kind of don’t love how I’ve done this story #it feels like he has two separate unrelated character arcs rather than it going together nicely #I’ve written a lot of scenes closer to the end but have no idea how to start the story or introduce characters #I think the fact that this story has changed so much over the past few years of it being an idea really shows #and I don’t know Ashling feels kind of like a very inconsistent character #I mean it makes sense I guess and I’m justifying it as the fact that he’s deliberately putting on a persona around a lot of people #but I don’t know it still bugs me #but I feel like I did a pretty good job with descriptions and supplying background info in this scene #which I normally struggle with #and of course I had to overdescribe clothing #it’s plot relevant okay #maybe it will be better once I work more on the early parts of the story so I can put the whole thing in one document and edit it #I must remember that this is only a first draft #and admittedly writing all the scenes randomly with only half an outline done may not have been the best idea
