Go On, Knock Yourself Out!
May. 27th, 2010 08:23 pm(Mechanical title case used, because lowercasing the prepositions just made the whole thing look ridiculous. Please tell me I am not the only person who nerds about this.)
There is absolutely no situation my protagonist can get into, in which she can't find something more extravagant and excessive to do than anything I was planning. This one worked perfectly for me - raises the chapter to a whole new level - but, bloody blazes, I didn't see that one coming!
Now need to rough out overlapping action elsewhere, from a viewpoint which is actually conscious throughout.
1,110 words, bad weather, bad influences, bad bird.
