Bookkeeping July 26, 2012 - Lynch

[clarentine]

Chapter end! I found a chapter end! >;-) I've also introduced one of the other main characters and (some of) the complication he brings with him. The next scene will see us finally entering the city itself.

Here's where my earlier research pays off: I have actual photos of the facades of some of the period structures in the areas where my characters will be traveling. (Thank you, Tom Martin, City Planner for Lynchburg!) I've got the photos cut out, and I'm going to mock up a streetscape to give myself a bit more realism as my characters travel through the city. I just need to mount them on foam core, since I have a feeling I'll be needing the visual reference for a while.

What a nifty idea to ground yourself in your setting.

I've been pretty bad about keeping up with my writing. This post has inspired me to get back to it. And I will, as soon as I hang out a load of laundry, put another in, do a crit, clean the kitchen, mop the floor. Oh, wait...there I go, procrastinating again. 10 minutes of writing coming up, before doing anything else.

One that's only possible because I'm working in a relatively modern, real-world setting. >:-) That's one thing historical fiction/fantasy has over my usual fare of second-world fantasy!
