Fiction Slow Down

I'm still working the fiction novels through the writing, revisions, and brainstorming. It seems the business goals I want to achieve involve me writing more special reports than I first figured on. Means for a little while the fiction progress slows down.

Probably not that slow though. I find a lot of my inspiration for making the fiction better and solving issues come to me while I'm working on other things.

In the meantime, I'm still asking for new writers for my writer's group Critter's of the Round Table, participating in OWW, and setting up a new writer's group in-game at Myst Online: Uru Live.

Dagan's Dilemma

In PoM, Dagan is troubled by guilt. And that guilt needs to give Dithron an edge. I know this. I know what caused the guilt. But I don't have what edge this gives Dithron, or how it stops Dagan from being effective. This has been in the plans for years, but I still don't have the 'how' of it. And it's bothering me. Now that I'm into the book this far, I need to know.

I'm also changing the Sol Nomen a bit. Instead of the bulky body structure that makes them too dwarfish or hobbit-like, I'm going to give them the body type of pygmy people.

Mainly in PoM, I'm making notes on changes, additions, thoughts, etc. I did have to stop and do some actual writing on a scene which will happen in the book after PoM. It was too fresh in my mind to wait. That book has been coming to me lately and will probably have an outline or synopsis appear in the next month or two.

I'm trying to get through my two chapters per day on TKQ revisions. That seems about the right amount that I get time for, but only just - with everything else that has to be done.

There are also some non-fiction reports in the works. One's coming together very well, and I have ideas on a few of them. I think they will be good candidates to break up into smaller bits and use in different areas.
