Daily Update: All hail!
Added 2018-06-11 07:48:04 +0000 UTCEnough preamble! We begin.
I'm in the actual process of writing the short story now, and due to our collaboration deadlines with World Anvil, I'll need to pump this one out in a cool 3-5 days. Rough, considering the amount of research that goes into writing something which resembles the Rurik dynasty with any modicum of accuracy.
I'm off to a blazing start though, having deleted, re-written, deleted, and re-written the first page of the first draft a healthy seven-or-so-times! This is pretty normal for me. I expect to move a lot more swiftly tomorrow. It can take some time to ease back into the process, but once I do it begins to flow out of me.
Here's to terrible rough drafts. All hail the revision process!
