Today, I got up to find it raining again. We desperately need it, so that was a welcome sight, and it made for the perfect day to go out to La Madeleine and Barnes and Noble with two friends. We played around with our Macbook cameras- annoying some of the crankier patrons around us- but it was a fun time out for the day.
After playing some Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, I took them home and ate dinner, planning on continuing brainstorming with Holly Lisle's Create a Plot Clinic. I ended up getting distracted with chatting via webcam with my friend, but we had fun playing Pictionary with our dry-erase boards.
The evening didn't turn out to be totally unproductive, though, as I was able to come up with some more plot ideas while showing her how I brainstorm via screen-sharing. I'm really starting to produce some interesting concepts for this story, but I still have virtually no idea how they will all fit as a cohesive story.
Shards of the Storm is still coming along, but very slowly as I am still rereading the manuscript for the first time to reacquaint myself with the general storyline, but this plotting workshop works for works-in-progress as well, so once I familiarize myself with it again, I'll probably begin working on that on the side as I try to prepare for NaNo in November. I'm gonna need all the preparation I can get because I can already tell it's going to be one of my busiest Novembers yet being the start of college.
Heading out to continue plotting. More progress bars will be up soon.
