I went back and gutted extraneous things out of Faith and Duo's POV sections in chapter 5 of "Lemonade" -- my god, I do just ramble on and on and on when I'm not paying attention -- and started Sasuke's. The chapter is now at 2,450 words, and I would very much like to wrap it up in another 500 words... this will probably require a bit more pruning of Faith and Duo's sections to compensate for Sasuke's inevitable brooding.
Again, I fail at sticking to my outline and have inserted a whole chapter wherein people talk and talk and nothing much happens. *headdesk*
I swear, in chapter 6 they will reach water.
------------------------------------
"Finding Marea" is at 12,000 words. I have also edited the early sections to make them fit better with the overall line of the story, which... mutated as I wrote. Harai is now telling Marea's story her way, based on the historical situation of Ochre Varos during Mechved II's rule, and on written records such as census registries, trial reports, and letters from various Church figures.
I need to more firmly establish the exact nature of documentary evidence in this world, and the degree to which people are aware of authorial bias, etc., but this is just so much fun!
------------------------------------
I have today and tomorrow off, yay! Unfortunately, it's about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, humid as fuck-all, and with a 20-40% chance of thunderstorms at any given hour. I have hauled two of my three fans out of storage and set them up, and I expect my electric bills will skyrocket.
Summer. Bah.
You could not pay me enough to move anywhere south of about Philadelphia -- D.C. at the outer limit -- unless it was up in the mountains or out west where it is, at least, a dry heat.
