480 and counting, it’s dialogue and it flows.

I managed 625 words on the WIP and 1.950 on the translation. Not entirely satisfied with what I wrote because when I finished I noticed that the dialog shouldn’t be between her father and the protag but between her and her stepmother. Need to rewrite that in the morning before getting on with it.

Didn’t get a chance to add yesterdays words, because the new pup didn’t work out and we had to re-home him. A little said after seeing him go, so I wrote one of the more emotional scenes detailing a loss in the MC’s past. Felt better after that. 601 words.

Actually, I did just that. I sat with my notebook and pen, and wrote, OK, what do I need? And the answer poured right out Thanks

This is the link to the Perry Castaneda collection, it is avaible on the internet for free. I love this site, sometimes it feel like they have all the maps in the world.

Absolutely. No telling what you’ll find out if you let her run on.

You sound like me today. Hope you had a good night’s sleep. And nice words.

2500 words is pretty doable in that length of time, depending on how much time you have to put into it.

Good luck!

Congrats on the research. No clue on the maps, though. I’m always trying to find maps of old places. It’s rough.
