week one of novel writing wrapup ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

sigh …… my detailed outline’s firm decree that the sweetwater portion of the story should be finished before 15k……. the problem is actually that i’m having way too much fun; it should be disheartening that the previous 2 flop drafts had both at Least managed to get the party on the road by this point (though in the very first one they were still at liena’s palace!), but the reason we’re still there now is just because I keep getting struck by new events that I need to have happen there lol. i think it’ll be relatively easy to trim after the fact (and the current misadventure with the castle lord might need to be removed entirely or just relocated to the shrine, we will see how I feel tomorrow) anyways, i just need to get all of my thoughts out for this section of the plot and i have so many of them suddenly lol

anyways we should be on the road to the way-station by the end of tomorrow, which is the portion of story I’ve least been looking forward to (also the worst part of my outline because I still can’t decide when I want the hierai body retrieval situation to be resolved …), basically the goal is to move through it as quickly as possible and not linger on anything except the inn bedroom scene. we’ve spent long enough in sweetwater already setting up what io and hi are trying to achieve & I really really want to get to the landship / the part where rhea arc actually starts moving … as always the only solution is to write More And Faster
