Well, Hell. Autocorrect and Fight Scenes.

I just realized that the spelling in my last post was AWFUL! That's what I get for using swipe on my phone while trying to also feed my daughter. FAIL. I went back and fixed the typos, though!

So I actually got in some awesome writing today. I'm still working on my skills with fight scenes. Those are so awkward for me to write, but I managed to pump out a really good one, I think.

I got about a half a chapter written today, all of which was a fight scene. I've been avoiding writing for a couple days because I was so intimidated by it. So I spent every waking moment of the last three days thinking about how to write it down. And I mean every moment. In the shower, while I was changing diapers, while I did the dishes, while I was pinning a yummy chicken enchilada recipe on Pinterest, etc..

But it's done! It's on paper! And I didn't edit it until I was done writing it all down. Progress.

The deeper I get into this story the more difficult it's becoming to write it down. Some of this stuff is really brutal. Can YA be brutal? Is that legit? Well, I'd like to push the limits and go ahead and say, yes, yes it can be.

Gotta run! Ttfn!

The Background and Creating a World.

I feel like, for me, creating the world my characters live in its one of the most difficult parts of writing this novel. The more I developethe story the more I learn about my own characters. I'm constantly going back and adding or changing information to ensure that the story still flows like it should. Though it is a daunting task, I am truly enjoying watching the details of the novel hammer themselves out.

That was the extent of what I did yesterday. I started this part and then forgot to publish it! Woops!

Well that's all I've got at the moment. Ttfn!
