I’m doing this as part of the ‘motivate me to actually turn 50K words into a no-fooling novel” process. Because writing the stuff is sometimes the easiest part. Hopefully, the process will accelerate as I go on, but today I have a baronial newsletter to write so I can’t spend the afternoon processing three or four chapters.
Anyway: the working draft of Chapter 1 is in Scrivener. Or ‘first draft.’ Or ‘rough draft;’ I don’t actually know the terminology all that well. :brightly: That’s why they call this a learning experience!
Snippet:
Cin City: Cinderella, jewel of the crown of the kingdom of New California. ‘Course, the jewel is plastic and the crown is tinsel, but when’s the last time anybody made either of those, anyway? There’s a half million souls here, where the desert shoves at the sea, and they’re all caught up in the same thing I am. Some people call it dreams, other people call it lies, and neither know what the hell they’re talking about.
