Summary:

Reading has been the order of the day this week, though I’ve also done quite a bit of planning for the new novel, which I’ve found really useful.

 

Tuesday:

I missed my usual writing date because I had to work on Monday, so I pledged to work on the new novel every evening this week to make up for it.

Today, I added a section to the third scene, to give the protagonist some dialogue. I then carried on with the Six Month Novel Programme workbooks, which gave me some new plot ideas and deepened my understanding of the main characters.

 

Wednesday:

I added some character detail to the second scene of the new novel, and carried on working through the Six Month Novel materials. I’ve never done this amount of planning for a project at the start before, and it’s definitely helping cement the world in my mind and develop the characters in interesting ways.

 

Friday:

More planning for the new novel, exploring different plot points and subplots.

 

Saturday:

I read some more of Wonderbook and made notes.

I had an epiphany about the main arc of the new novel – at core, it’s not an action adventure but a love story and that’s the arc it should follow.
