Writing Progress

Want to know what the writer was thinking? Don't understand the significance of a scene? Or maybe you just want to comment on your experience (for good or bad). This is the place.

Got the outline done, and realized I hate the entire first act. Re-writing it.

Just a little reminder for myself.

While Episode 15 is finished, I still need to re-write 16 to incorporate my changes. And I need to get started on them since Origins is coming up and it should be done before then (so I have the option of playtesting it there, since it's the one I'm least comfortable with at this point).

Incorporated the changes, added in a few things and 16 is now half way finished! Back and at them, 16 should be done by next week or so.

Side project all finished and sent out (1k words for Don Higgins for a book/pdf he's putting together, I'll post the link when he gets it up).

Background for Ep 16 still needs to be finished, and getting to that.

Deb's new background is all sorted out and about half way written :twisted:

Had a quiet moment or two today and took a long look at the list of ideas I have for Episodes 17 and 18. Long story short, I got inspired and have the final acts for both outlined enough to start writing.

Writing is back in progress. Hald a short talk with Dave/Laura/Megan about various parts of Ep 17 and got to writing. Scene 1 is finished and Scene 2 is well on the way. Now I just need to playtest Ep 15 (which should happen next month) and make edits and year 8 will be ready!

17 is over half way finished (yay) but slow going. Don't know what's taking so long but it's still progressing.

17 has just one scene left to write then I'm onto 18 (which is going to be just as slow going, I think).

Since I haven't updated this in a while. I should let everyone know 17 is finished, and 18 is half way done (on time to be finished before Origins and the playtest). All the basics are done for the LARP just need to do the fine touches then the hardest part (paperwork). Then it's on to PA for GenCon.

You should probably go to Indiana instead of Pennsylvania for GenCon.
