Not Much to Show
After a whole weekend, I think I added a whopping 1,000 words to Beautiful Death. Sigh. Perhaps that's why you shouldn't edit the first draft, hmmmm? I don't know that the editing I did late last week sidetracked me at all, really. It was a busy weekend and I just got too tired. I read a book and watched a couple of movies. Some refueling, I guess.
I got back on track tonight and continued the next scene. I'm not exactly sure how this scene goes, so I'm taking it slow. All of the other scenes (mostly), I've had a clear DVD scene play in my head so I knew exactly what needed to happen. I'm getting into lightly chartered waters, now. I still know where I'm going, but the elements need to be developed more as I go.
I had this really cool thought about Erebus last night after I went to bed. I might've even dreamed it. I'm not sure. Thankfully, I remembered it! This scene is important because it provides the first glimpse of the Underworld in my world. So yeah, it needs to be done well, although I can certainly go back later and add depth.
