At some point I will figure out my time management enough to post these check-in posts earlier than just before my clock hits midnight!

Today's Writing

Today was rather exciting writing-wise - while I didn't write any new manuscript words, I did a lot of worldbuilding and plotting for the Ambush Project in its notebook, and more in my head. I think I may have figured out The Thing. You know, The Thing that the plot is about, which I've been writing around for months now. This is very exciting. I hope it still feels like a good idea in the coming days. The idea just came to me in the aftermath of some podcast-listening, while I was crocheting away and letting my mind wander, and then I started getting a ton of stuff about both the world and the plot and how the characters' story will progress from the parts that I had figured out earlier, and all that sort of stuff. I wrote down a bunch of things, and then I went for a walk and brainstormed a lot more.

I also got a bunch of worldbuilding ideas for Ambush Project #2, and some related plot and character ideas. I didn't end up writing down anything for it yet, though I meant to, but I did think about it a fair bit. I hope tomorrow I get myself to write some things down, because writing down ideas usually helps me generate more and get deeper into them.

I did try to start a fic for the Trope Bingo, but I only got as far as writing the fandom and the trope in the title of the document, so that doesn't really count as writing it. But I thought about it!
