I have recently gone through some interesting life shifts, and I'm not entirely sure how this will affect my writing and how much I'm able to do, but I'm excited to see how it will go. In the meantime, there's NaNoWriMo coming, so I've got to finish up my current projects and gear up for the next one. And in the interim, in this month, I'm going to be doing Spooktober Prompts from World Anvil, to explore one of my worlds a bit.
Spooktober is a prompts challenge run by World Anvil, involving spooky things. There's a single word prompt for each day. I'm going through them fairly quickly. As of writing this post, I'm done with 15 of 31 prompts, which is pretty good. You can find my progress here.
I'm focusing on the world of my superhero story. It could use a few developmental details for flavor. So far my favorites have been creating points on a timeline to go with major events in my main character's life. It's fun to have a visual representation of what I plan to do with her, at least somewhat.
Also, I've decided to include some proof that I am in fact working on a book right now. This is a rough draft, of course, but here's a few lines just to show that words are being written. Lots of them. So many.
"So this just turned into a disaster."
Glenna wheeled around. "Morna!"
When Deborah and Poggy followed her into the chamber, Glenna nearly felt bowled over. Not exactly who she would have expected to come all the way out there.
Morna had her sword to hand and an easygoing look on her face. "This is the last phase before the Day itself. I thought it would be a good idea to leave off politics for a minute and come help. Make sure that we're ready to go, and all that."
Poggy looked thoroughly disgruntled. "Yes, Deborah and I did all the work of following you, but she caught up in time, so she gets the credit for saving the day."
"Glad you could come, Poggy," Glenna said politely.
"Thank you." That seemed to mollify him, at least for the moment.
