Except potentially for the last line, nothing really *important* seems to happen in this part and I think that's because the main plot has yet to be decided. Constructively, without tension irks and movement sprinkled into each scene, the story can flatten quickly regardless of how intricate your fantasy world. But that’s always the challenge (joy and madness) of writing a story from scratch ;-).Rachel Silversnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-90073182218019894392012-02-17T09:11:21.551-05:002012-02-17T09:11:21.551-05:00Morning!
