Hmmm… I can move this scene from #8 back to #7….. Keeping it in #8 makes for a better cliffhanger, but moving it to #7 makes #7 a tad more complete. Oh, the debate I’m having with myself.

@Wilde_Guess Yep, that’s why I’m debating now, before I post. I’ll need to resolve this before I post either 7 or 8. Yesterday, I had moved it to #7, however, based on tone it belongs in #8. So, this morning, I moved it back. After all, a cliffhanger is typically an incomplete scene.
-
True, that. Also, the move can “require” another 4k of writing to more fully develop an idea. That’s not a bad thing, but can confuse the reader if you do it after the chapter(s) were originally posted.
-
That was the #5 debacle, about 2.5k but same thing. I try to adhere to the principle that a reader shouldn’t have to re-read an episode to understand things, though, of course, that can be unavoidable at times with a work-in-progress. Thus, I basically want to be confident in the episode/chapter before I post.
Cross my fingers, I’ll get #8 drafted tonight. (If so, I’d expect #7 to go up next weekend.)

No muse, I’m already involved with another story, stop trying to tempt me with a new one….stop, STOP! Onward with the struggle.

Today’s been productive. Posted Jefferey episode #6, and nearly done with the draft to #7 (along with a dabble or two in #8). Depending on how productive I am this weekend, I should be confident with posting #7 next weekend, but no guarantees. (Always, TBD until I actually post it).
-
Episode #6, “Snowballs” is now posted. (ie, I felt confident enough to post it.)

I like three day weekends, good chance to get some Jefferey episodes finished! I do have to be careful, some of these episodes are becoming a wee bit penis centric…

Character Building

I don’t fully work out a character either until I start writing. That’s where backstory is useful. What I tend to do, though, is narrow down an approximate age/gender and use a randomizer to help select some traits. If needed, I’ll figure out relatives too, that’s where the bulk of the characters in my database come from. And I start writing, seeing what traits do and don’t work. -

I take it a step (or two) further Avaloyuru, I’ve made a database… has nearly 2,300 characters in it, along with plot points for my series of stories, and family trees. -

I’m guessing that I’ll be posting episode six next weekend, but no promises. (This is to Jefferey.)
