Write Every Day, June Day #14

[auroracloud]

I may be a bit more quiet over the next couple of days, as I'm not-at-home and posting conditions aren't ideal. I'll try to reply to the Write Every Day comments, and at least get the check-in post and the tally up as usual, but I may leave other comments until I'm back at my usual place.

Today's Writing

I typed up the description of my nature outing last weekend from my diary, and rewrote it to work better as a travel writing exercise. Which also nearly doubled its word count. But there were parts of the diary entry that were pretty usable on their own, just a few wording changes, so that was nice. I may still look at some of my fics, but I really should go to bed soon, as I've actually promised to be somewhere at an hour that more self-disciplined people consider normal.

ETA: Oops, 662 words of new fic. Looks like the Cottoncandy Bingo is providing ideas. Now seriously going to bed!

Trying to figure out if Marinette and Adrien find out about the Beast and the castle by (1) going with Maurice to the fair (2) going with Belle after Maurice (3) going with Maurice after Belle. Option 3 screws up the fewest minutes of the movie but is the one most likely to screw up the timing at the castle and end in death and heartbreak. Also it kind of looks like Belle spends a couple months at the castle, at least, and Maurice spends the vast majority of that time lost in the snowy woods???

(A friend suggests time runs at different rates inside and outside the castle gates—after all, Chip doesn't seem to be any ten years old yet and remembers being human, and the level of punishment the Enchantress dropped on preteen Adam for being a bratty eleven-year-old always did seem excessive—but now I have to figure out the differential and shit.)

also, 600+ words outlining an idea because I wanted it out of my head without writing it properly

...

it is not written in any great detail but it is written and it is more comprehensively written than I expected it to be when I said "I do not want to write this" and started typing it

Sometimes that's a good way of working off an idea that you're not ready to start writing yet but that wants to make itself known. And then you've got stuff down for later if it turns out to be the right time to write that.

Good luck with figuring out the timelines and such for the crossover, too! To me, suggesting that time runs differently inside the castle gates makes total sense to me, all things considered. :-)
