Unbeknownst to many around him, Michael, a native Texan, is an immortal who has sat at the Round Table with King Arthur and listened to the wisdom of Merlin. His father, when Michael asked if he could help a halfling take a ring to Mordor, told him to go mow the yard instead. Thankfully, he was allowed to go with Jason after the Golden Fleece and fought against a horde of skeleton warriors. When he was sixteen he was tied to the mast of a ship with Ulysses and heard the sirens sing. Once, he traveled to France with the Scarlet Pimpernel and helped him free nobles there. Some fun facts: Michael lost his pet dragon, “Old Blue,” in a Gwent game against Zotlan the dwarf. He dated Grendel’s mom, (only one time) and swears he’s not the father.

After spending ten years in Azeroth he decided it was time to move back to Texas.
These days he spends his time between Texas and the Corvarix Age kingdoms of Havenfurst, Finavoré, Kedgewich, and Fjolkgard. Michael writes the tales of those lands until his lovely wife, Kara, says it’s time for dinner.

60 minutes with interruptions. I have a mini Schnauzer and he was being such a pest tonight. I had to retrieve his ball from under the furniture three times!

So I was today years old when I came across a piece of wisdom.
For each scene, answer 3 questions:
1. What changes?
2. What truth is revealed?
3. What emotion do I want the reader to leave with?
I created a note in Scrivener that keeps these front an center. So that is how I wrote tonight. We as storytellers do this intuitively for sure but for me keeping them in front of me I believe is going to help productivity.

a lot of formatting and merging from one document to the other tonight. It ate into my writing time but it had to be done. Otherwise I'd get lost lol. :)

World building gets intense when you are trying to layer a culture while writing the narrative. It doesn't lend itself to speed but it is fun. :)

And some days it don't come easy
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all
And these are the days that never end

It was one of those days where you don't know "where" you are writing to. Progress is progress. :)

A good day to catch up. One of the best days of writing I have had in a while.

apparently you need quite a bit of research to sink a galley properly :D
