I was sitting around trying to work up the inspiration to write because I haven't managed any progress today, and I happened to glance out the window. There was a sparrow sitting outside my window. So, yeah, inspiration, bam. 8D

I've been a bit slow over the past few days. I've had a tired I just couldn't shake. It was annoying to say the least.
Mostly I've been restructuring earlier planning. I had one scene I wrote a couple of months ago that I'm scrapping completely in favor of spreading the content of it out over a lot of distance in the story. Deciding to make what is going on less straightforward and more complicated also means other planning where we were proceeding on the assumption things were fairly straightforward (and honestly, I'm not sure how during the early planning stages I arrived at the conclusion that Yuka would have such a good grasp on what was happening.) is void.
But again, it slows down the story, which is a good thing for me. I often jump straight to the critical points a little too fast when some time in between to build the events leading up to the critical points would be better. I'ma blame this on my childhood trauma of surviving Eldest. (It actually might well be.)
Also, if anyone is actually reading this, I apologize if this makes no sense. When I write about my writing I suspect that I'm the only one who can understand my cryptic rambling. That's all for now, folks.

I validated my novel today despite the fact that I didn't finish it yet, a first for me. I'm not far from the end, but given that I've got plans for the weekend, I don't think I'll be finishing it in November. It is winding up far longer than I expected, and this has spiraled out into the rest of the story.
I'm now looking at having to write two more novels to complete the story. Looking back on why I thought it would only take three, I'm gonna chalk it up to Sparrows basically being able to be a standalone. It is stage setting, but it could totally end there, imo.
While scripting the overall plotline, I had expected events to unfold a little more straightforwardly, probably because I'm a derp and was relying too much on scenes and stuff I wrote to help me figure out where I was going with the story and when I got there I was like 'Heh, no way everyone understands all this junk already. Rewrite time.'. This is why I don't work from a rigid script. Nothing ever follows my original ideas.
So, yeah, I guess that's that.
