When I have written lately, it's been good, but there are days like today when I can't summon the energy. I'm going over and over my rewrite notes, figuring out what I need to do and projecting the likely spots in the book I can do them.
I do a lot of worldbuilding, but I also bullshit a lot. I now have to go through the stuff my writing group called me on and not bullshit it.
I've got my list of stuff I need to clarify, and stuff I need to have in the first three chapters or so. I take one item that appears on both lists and scribble it atop a new notebook page, and brainstorm away.
Current de-bullshitting session: clarify the necromancers' place in society. Before, if a reader was like, "these necromancers seem to be important and feared, why is that?" My answer would be, "because they're necromancers, duh."
Up next: Does my title have anything to do with anything at all in the book?
