I have now switched over to my female protagonist and I’m somewhere in Act 2 for her (her act 1 is pretty much done, unlike my male protagonist).  Now, how am I measuring up against set goals? The honest truth is I don’t know. I am now fully in the tunnel and have absolutely noContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- July 2024”

This year, I’m approaching the work slightly differently. Instead of always cycling in between my two protagonists, I’ve given my female protagonist two consecutive goes. I’m happy to report that this does let me drill down further into her scenes but progress is still slow overall.  At the time of writing and your reading this,Continue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2023”

As of the time of writing, I’m delving into enneagrams in an attempt to get closer to my characters, an idea I had taken from K.

I’ve actually finished draft 0.82 of the WIP and I’m taking a rest for it for a while as per usual. That was in fact finished in February. I might need a little structural analysis time on it in April but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.  Currently I’m working onContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- March 2022”

I’m currently working on draft 0.82. To be honest, I’m not making major headways in the most recent few decimal drafts. More and more, it’s about letting go of scenes that were 70% done and acknowledging that I don’t have the mentality or whatever to push it through the 100% mark right now and choosingContinue reading “Moonlake’s Writing Updates- December 2021”
