I got even more progress on the story today. It's still not a huge amount or anything but the first chapter is mostly complete (well, the first draft of it anyway. I'm sure it'll undergo extensive change if I actually finish this one). I'm trying to limit myself in how much I write. I know I could easily have written more than I did today but I want to avoid burning myself out on this one.

It's always neat to see a story evolve over time. I've seen it happen with quite a few of my short stories and I'm already seeing some signs of it in the first chapter of this one. As it's a fantasy novel I've also put in a bit of effort into fleshing out the world (I'm having to fight the temptation to put more but seeing as this is the start of a story I don't want it to get too bogged down in history and exposition). I really like what little I have created of the world so far. If I still like the world when I'm done I could very easily revisit it, exploring some of the stuff I've touched on in chapter one. I might jot down the base idea but I don't want to get to far into planning a second novel this early into the first one. :P

- Mr. Blonde

This quote comes from the Mr. Blonde in Res Dogs. I suspect the Mr. Blonde in Perfect Dark might have something quoteable as well.
