2 stories, 20 minutes

Had a lovely bath and came downstairs with a couple of ideas. In fifteen minutes I had typed a scene for my next novel. A nice 1000 words(ish). That was in short form as well as I just wanted to get the bare bones down. A bit of dialogue and a bit of description of what was happening. Not put in the MC's reactions or described the place itself or owt yet.

I also had come up with an idea for a short story so I've done the entire plot outline for that.


Dormarth update. My fifth chapter finally came up for critique at Critique Circle last Wednesday, unfortunately I haven't had that much time to crit other peoples work what with one thing or another so I've only had three crits so far. These should be enough to go on though as there doesn't seem to be much wrong with them. One thought it was really good, but hadn't read the other 4 chapters so didn't know what was happening in the rest of the story. The other two thought it was good but would be better if the scenes were placed elsewhere. Got good feedback on the proposal scene so I'm happy with that. I'll start pulling the whole thing together soon. Then I can finally expect to see a change in my word count thingy on the right :D
