Revision Scene 15: In the House of Peace
Finished the first scene in the revised Fairfields Arc. It was at least 50% erase-and-start-again. I gave Luke's hosts better sense in how to deal with obviously traumatized and very very dangerous patients, and I gave Luke a better apple than he got last time. Also, Makepeace Hall and its bit of land now have an actual - if very crude - map in my workbook, and an approximate daily routine against which everything else takes place.
Chief credit for helping me make sense of the Hall's domestic economy goes to:
- my mother, Jean Woodland, for many nerding sessions and pointed questions that have rendered many previously invisible things visible;
- that invaluable sourcebook, overview, and jumping-off point, Life in a Medieval Village, by Frances and Joseph Gies;
-![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
green_knight and her many thoughtful postings on the writing process, for persuading me into the following excellent habit: When in doubt, map it out!
Oh, and the apple? Here is the apple of awesome which I found out about while messing around, and immediately scrumped for my own use because it is such a perfect fit for this setting. Read 'em and drool!
