I forgot to write about something very exciting last week- I went LARPing for the first time! Live Action Role Playing, really. But they call it larping. It was really fun, I made my own character and spent the weekend running around dressed in a homemade costume as my character "Wilsa" and robbed people and played Kill Your Killer and just had a ball. (By the way my character has really loose morals in regards to money.) I can't wait to go back next month.
I will eventually include a picture of my costume, but I don't feel like putting it on right now- it's too HOT. So eventually.
In Story news, I've made a bunch of progress. I didn't edit any yesterday because I was barely home, but since my last post I did around ten pages of editing a night, and five so far today. It's nice, and not unbearable.
I split another chapter (or two I can't remember) so now I'm working on chapter seven. Yay! I've messed around and incorporated more of my other characters' backstories. I already had another idea for the very beginning, too, so I'll catch that on the second edit and change that around a bit. I kind of feel like I know what I'm doing here.
This morning I was listening to some lectures by Brandon Sanderson- he puts a lot of his classes on Youtube, so you should check that out if you're interested. It's really interesting and informative.
I'll start posting my page progress, I think. I'm almost a fourth of the way there! (small steps.)

Problems I'm Thinking About:
-general suckage
-character consistency
-mastering the use of dialogue
-well-rounded character stories
