It’s the official halfway point! I kind of feel like I’ve already been writing for a full month. On the other hand, I haven’t gotten as far into the story as I expected to by this point. I’ve gone on a few tangents.
This is also the evening before my week-long vacation, so I hope to do more writing in the next few days, and be less sleep-deprived.
This session, I finished the conversation that was needed to get the characters some vital information heading into the next part of the story. I’ve still probably got one more session of wrap-up, but it will be fun to get to some new scenery.
I mentioned at the start of the month that this story takes a little inspiration from Sherlock and James Bond. One of the questions I’m starting to run up against is how much the story wants to be about the mystery and detective work, and how much it wants to be about the characters solving problems with violence and blowing things up. So far I’ve chosen to lean a little more toward the Bond side. That’s mostly expediency, because I find it harder to craft a good mystery on the fly. I’ll probably look for more ways to improve the mystery aspects in revision.
