Little writing done yesterday. Blame it on Schlock mercenary!

Ok, you can blame it on me. After some Schlock mercenary, I attempted to write, but found I couldn’t quite enter into my full writing mode. Every phrase was dragging and not quite connecting with the phrase that came before. In the end, I wrapped the chapter up and called it a day. That gave me a whopping 200 words written for the night. Meager count.

Next chapter is a total mystery to me. I had intended to introduce a new viewpoint character, but thinking about it, I think this is too soon. I have a new setting and if I introduce now a new character – an unsympathetic one to boot – I’ll loose my audience.

So, I’ll stick up to an old character for now, introduce the new character and we’ll get her viewpoint farther on the way. That will enable me to do a twist as this character is a true baddy posing as a good guy.

One interrogation here : this book is going to be violent in the end (three deaths including one viewpoint character). Yet, up until now, it is quite un-violent (except the prologue, but that was very down-toned). So, it’s going to be rough on the reader, as I don’t foreshadow yet anything bad.

So, I didn’t promise violence up until now and I didn’t foreshadow anything bad – except “power is an illusion”, which should be the book’s morale.

I think that rewriting is going to be a bitch…
