So, as some following the re-write of Scorpio's tale called "Predator's Ground" might have noticed, Scorpio popped up in a place long known to me, but still mostly Terra Incognita. This leaves the writer with a quandary, do you press on with the tale, taking furious notes in a side window, stop to flesh the area out a bit, or write the tale, then flesh things out using that as the basis later?
I don't work well the last way, things twist too much, leaving you needing earthmovers, high-explosives, and those big mining trucks to fix things.
Nor does stopping to flesh it out work, as my characters tend to wander off when ignored mid-tale.
So, I've been writing (mostly in my head, which means the next bit should seem a bit more polished, as it worked through a few times as I had work pretty steady since the last bit posted over there) and taking notes (which I am finally writing down today, and will share as part of the peeks into my slimy skull).
One thing I know for sure. I really intend to beat up the characters, all of them, a bit more now. They made me do extra work, and this was just supposed to be a simple re-write to flesh up the tale a bit and fix inconsistencies I left in it, being early in my current attempts at writing.
So, watch here, there, maybe elsewhere and everywhere, for more tidbits, the prelude piece to the tale (##$@%! Characters! I'm gunna murderize them for making more parts earlier in the tale after I already started it!).
Well, getting my stuff in my duff to move to a better writing locale in a bit.
I hope, clouds willing. They like to piddle on me during long walks lately.
