It was my first day drafting in a while. Coming back after four months off wasn't too bad. For the last two months I've been re-writing, which is much different from writing a first draft. Re-writing is more craft than creation.
Things were a little rusty, but they still worked. It was a good day. I'm happy with the pages. Nice to know I still got it. There's always this fear that some day I am going to sit down and nothing is going to happen.
There is a little more horror in this one. It's not intentional, and it doesn't change who the audience is. Fantasy is a great genre. You can have mystery, horror, romance, etc., under its back drop. Such freedom.
Today's writing thought:
Writing verse is hard. As Conan said, "I have no tongue for it."
But if used sparingly, it has a real weight to it.
