Sometimes ideas don’t come in a predictable order. I went back and forth between the two projects, getting stuck on one then bouncing over to the other and back again. This episode is also a little chaotic and I detail when ideas came to me and how those spawned other thoughts and even in some cases helped me figured out some series plot points in the karmic project. It’s a bit all over the place.

I made more progress on the karmic story, both in getting some writing done and figuring out a little bit more about how this world works and how it has shaped Beatrix. As I figure out more about the worlds and how they interact, it’s making it easier to really delve into the characters. That still means rewriting and going back to earlier chapters to fix things and add depth, but I feel like I’m really starting to get a better sense of the characters and story.

Finally, some writing mojo seems to be happening for me! I wrote, rewrote, moved around, and touched up details in chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the karmic story. A lot of the rewriting and shifting had to do with trying to avoid infodumping and static scenes that weren’t accomplishing multiple goals as I needed them to do. I’m sure they’ll still need more work later, but I talk about how I attempted to make sure chapters were providing information, characterization, worldbuilding, and just being fun and interesting for readers.

I finally catch up on what I wrote over the last while, which is fitting because these chapters wrap up the story elements and sides of the character Penelope that serve as introductions for the reader. I got stuck here, mainly because this is where I really need to start delving into the meat of the story. Reviewing and talking out this section helped me pin down a few ways to move forward, which I’ll talk about next time.
