Prompt – Things that Happened Yesterday

It was a very quiet day. The most significant part for me was working on the Commitment I made on/at Yule (Dec 21) to finish Brede and revise Ruby and get them published in 2015.

So far on Brede I have:

• Six of twenty chapters identified.
• 22 of 111 (more or less) scenes identified.
• 14 Characters identified (there’s one more I thought had a bigger role but isn’t in my notes yet.)
  • 3 fully described
  • 1 partially described
  • 10 place holders
• 8 Settings identified – there are several more that need to be added but I don’t know how many – as the chapters and scenes are identified, I’ll add the additional  places.
  • 3 described
• Research on Ravens started
  • 10 Fascinating Facts about Ravens.

I’ll get the remaining chapters and scenes identified before the New Year as well as the characters and settings at least identified. On Jan 1 (my birthday as well as New Year’s Day) I will write for an hour each morning on Brede or Ruby before I look at email, Facebook, or any classes I’ve bought that start. I will post my progress here on my blog each day with amount of time and, when I start actual writing, how many words in that time I put down. I might even include a paragraph of what I’ve written but not enough to spoil the book.
