Finally picked Choosing Fate back up again. Honestly note to self “do not abandon stories mid-scene!!” it was hell trying to remember what I was aiming for there as I couldn’t remember.

(which means I shouldn’t just stop on the AU of an AU as yup you guessed it I’m mid-scene)

Anyway, I’m hoping the mixture of emotions, and how the POV characters are interpreting it, is coming across ok. This kind of thing was much easier back in the day when I head-hopped but I’ve trained myself out of doing that now. It’s like I know what John is feeling and why, but Helen doesn’t have any of that background, so what would she think of his demeanour?

One thing I have noticed is I feel like my character voice is improving maybe? It’s certainly occurring to me to make different language choices based on the POV which feels like a good sign. Of course I could just be seeing what I expect to because I know what I intend (and reason #118 why I really wish I had a beta reader because I would kill for some honest feedback).

Hopefully as I’ve now moved past that sticky scene I’ll find it easier to keep going on this story. I committed to adding at least 10k on it this month, although ideally I really did want to finish it (that’s not likely to happen now thanks to my fortnight of zeros *sad face*). Still progress I guess :/
