Writing Log: Cracking Open the Tree of Life

"Tree of Life" Writing Log



Words: 454
Total words: 454
Overused word: holy
Gratuitous word: suicided
Type of scene: Opening of the story, a lot of background explanation.
Challenge(s): Starting the story, trying to balance the content and explain what's going on and why it's important.
Which line is it anyways?With great reverence, he committed the greatest blasphemy of his life
Notes: Maybe too much background too soon, and not enough of a rip-roaring start? I am worried about this, but the history is such a critical part of the story. Also, hmm, I should really name my main character.
Other writingy stuff:
* penthius freewriting - low potential "moving into someplace evil" idea
* Posted writing log for Sunday
* Swung by the post office and mailed off "Good Help is Hard to Find"
