So here’s the first set for the day. Now I’m off to run again, which I’m not looking forward to [whenever am I however?]
I really hate running. But it works. Also I want to do it while the weather is nice.
Also, I need to figure out what is going to happen to make Del panicked about Julie which will drive the last quarter of the novel. Right now we’re having lots of fun in Istanbul, but it’s not going to last forever. He has to get back to France somehow.
Next year
So last night I thought about what I want to do next year (novella series) what genre I’d like to play with next (fantasy) and started brainstorming ideas for it.
I had stayed away from fantasy due to the amount of world-building I thought would be involved, but decided to work on something more character based and fill in the details later [a bit like how I am handling the historic elements in my current book].
Still, as I would not be writing this for another 8 months, that will give me lots of time to brainstorm and create a skeleton.
