Ah, shoot. As I look at the calendar, I think I have already forgotten specifically what I worked on.... Hmm.
Thus far, I have been successful at working on my writing each day! That is the goal! For 20+ minutes, and having stuff I have written down.
Friday was some minor progress on my regular manuscript, still getting Edith to Chani.
Saturday was the OCLS Writers Conference! Where I did write something small, and took a lot of notes, and thought about how all of that advice can help me immediately in my novel.
Sunday was Inklings again, and more specifically, me organizing my notes for The River, from a jumbled 30k mass in a single flat file to a whole bunch of files organized in Scrivener. If that is the strength of the program, I had best exploit it! It should be much easier now to find the info I need and to add more in a good format.
Monday is the day I work on The River's weakness: I began in 2018 with an outline and an understanding of the direction it goes, but I never applied true structure to it. For the near future, until I finish the book (I can take it slow since I got it for Christmas, rather than fretting over a library due date and NaNo runtime...), I am running through Save The Cat! to ensure that I build up a more cohesive plot line. This won't necessarily solve my problems, but it can't hurt! And every bit of this is directly tied to the notes I am taking and the brainstorming I am doing and the eventual tight outline I hope to create!
