Today’s session was interrupted by a few small distractions, so I took a little longer than usual. However, I ended with a few hundred extra words. I’m still not quite a full day ahead of par.
I’m starting to feel like the story is stalling in this coastal town, and I think I need to push through the necessary beats for the main characters to finally get to the islands where most of the rest of the story will happen. The pacing has been all wonky for the last couple sessions. I’m letting it happen and following some tangents, just in case I hit upon interesting ideas that are worth keeping. I guess this is what it feels like to be a gardener-style writer.
I’ve also been thinking that I probably am not doing enough to incorporate the magic system into the world and story. It’s come up a few times, but I think it needs to be more present throughout so that the rules are clear to the reader when the plot really hinges on it.
