So I guess I have a writing blog now

Not sure how much I'm going to use it, but for now I'll just post stuff.  I would have preferred to do this on the forums but I guess this works.  I'm not sure I'll get any readers but the point is to place some sort of obligation on myself anyway

 Word Count: 3,255

I, uhh... really need to up that word count fast but at this point I'm not even worried about it.  At this pace I won't get to 50,000 but I'm hoping to sort of come into my own mid-November.  I haven't given up on 50,000 but it does seem very far away.  I'm disappointed in my word count and am still having procrastinating issues but I actually felt pretty good about my session today.  It was mainly editing the last excerpt I put on the forums but I really liked what that turned into.  It read a lot better.

I also wrote some more stuff in the monologue I'm working on (it's a big speech to the council).  I'm getting into legends and stuff.  One of the things I need to go back and do is make a proper introduction for the council because I just kind of leapt right in without introducing anyone because I honestly haven't figured out who all would be on the council.  It's just a plot point for exposition.  But I need to get something in there so I can make them characters and have more than just one person who talks.  I'll do that tomorrow.

While my story may seem fairly cliche and unoriginal from my synopsis I can assure you the idea behind it is actually very complex.  As I get into Mid-Late November I hope to be able to show you what I mean.  I'm going to take Trilli's advice and not post excerpts here (to help the book's publishibility) but I will update my excerpts on the site so you can read them there.  Speaking of which, I'm changing my excerpt to show the new and improved encounter.  It still needs a bit of work but it is much much better than the first.  I'm much happier with it.
