Second Verse, Same as the first (help Wanted, Outlining)

I am going to, for nano, rewrite Addergoole Book One.

Yeah. That. Re-write, from scratch, keeping just the framework.

I want to have a coherent outline going in.

How you can help: Noteworthy moments from the original that you would like to hold on to, fond moments, anything you think should go into the outline.

Thanks!

Request: help with Outlining One.

It is my desire to re-re-write the Rin/Girey story with a coherent Outline.

So far I have:

Beginning: Rin takes Girey from the Camp

(Middle: long road to Lannamer. Things happen)

End: Something happens in the castle.

For those of you that are Rin/Girey readers, what are key points and what is it missing? What could be left out?

Cheers,

Lyn

Weekend!

This weekend, I:

Went to the NY State Faire with Rion, where we ate red velvet funnel cake, looked at bunnies, cows, and other creatures, and walked, a lot. It was a blast!

(We also took Addergoole characters there, because that’s what happens).

Then we went to the vampire LARP (Live-action rp game) we play in, where our fictional characters broke 25 prisoners out of super-max with only social challenges and a bit of mind control. Then we stormed a castle (Rion’s character and others stormed the castle. Mine sat on a bluff a mile away and threw social challenges).

SUNDAY

I sanded the walls and the woodwork in the foyer, primed it (with help from T)… canned peaches (had an exploding can), helped T put up some bracing in our shedroof behind the garage, cleaned up the back wall of the utility room, filled the holes, and sanded that so that T. could prime it.

Then I fell over.

MONDAY

I was going to go into work for a couple hours but the rain was so intense at 6:30, I decided to go back to bed instead.

My parents had been going to visit to help paint the foyer, but with the rain and the humidity, I ended up suggesting they stay home, since painting wasn’t going to happen. I sanded some more, played with the trim, chopped up wood for the winter, and… I’m not sure. Monday is a bit of a blur.

And now back to work!

Similar Features, with longer hair (Read “Mission Washup”)

[personal profile] rix_scaedu has written two parts of not-a-Fae-Apoc fanfic that nevertheless will resonate with those familiar with the world. (Her words: “This setting is heavily influenced by aldersprig’s Fae Apoc setting. In fact, I thought it was going to be a fan fic until it insisted on being different to her world on a number of points.”)

Read part one here.

SepNoWriMo

This month, my writing goals are 33,000 words: 10,000 on Addergoole (finishing a chapter and the next two chapters, almost bringing year 9 to a close) and the remaining 23,000 on an outlined re-re-re-write of Rin & Gire: Into Lannamer

The last line of yesterday was:

Zeke shook his head. “Quint, the next time you Keep someone, I’m not going to be here to referee.”

I have written 1,262 words
31,738 to go!
