back to part 38

Longish section tonight -- chatlogs tend to do that, and memos even more so. Oh, also! The concept of “crew” is the invention of the wonderful and talented [personal profile] askerian, for her Covalent Bonds series — which is also a trollstuck concept, btw, though it’s a “suddenly trolls, wtf!” scenario rather than “of course we’re trolls; we always were.”

Trollstuck, part 39 )

continue to part 40

And now to bed. Well, actually and now to figure out how to format this for Tumblr when I can't do all the nice chatlog colors, but eh, details.

I am pondering the stuff I still need to get through in "Trollstuck" and wondering if I should split the current chapter in half. The word count is going to get seriously ridiculous compared to previous chapters if I don't, and part 39 would make a good (okay, evil, but whatever) chapter break. On the other hand, I find the idea intensely annoying since I already split the climax chapter once and thought chapter 9 would be the second half of that, not the middle third, wtf.

Why do dialogue and action scenes always expand in the writing???

...

Someday I may learn the skill of making an outline that doesn't open up like an accordion when it comes time to flesh sentences into scenes. Today is not that day.

...

I think I will write the next scene and decide from there.
