abracanabra"Tree of Life" Writing Log
Words: 207 (on Tree of Life)
Total words: 8,990
Overused word: tunnel (yes, again)
Gratuitous obsolescence: dial watches
Type of scene: Transition and somebody-knows-my-minor-secret
Challenge(s): Giving directions in a zero-G, unlabeled warren. I could only make them subjective.
Which line is it anyways?A picture of the guard's eyes widening in surprise as Leander's fist smashed his face to a bloody pulp exploded in Leander's mind.
Notes: Directions, yuck. Describing going through tunnels, double-yuck. I'm about to the point where I'll only need to do that for new and interesting ways, at least.
Excuses:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elfdope was home and constantly distracting me. Plus he started to nap and emitted such strong sleep pheromones I ended up falling asleep for a couple of hours and not getting more writing done--or house-cleaning, making dinner, etc. All his fault.
Other writingy stuff:
* Posted writing log
*penthius freewriting, based on elfdope's musing up a dead mining planet for me, and also more extensive notes documented on the idea.
* Wrote new ending for "And the Dog Died," beg. 2:15 PM, 1,137 words - end 1,072 words, 3:00 PM.
