Unpleasant things that characters were subjected to: Elise: bad news, death of a prince.
The real "Dreamdark":
"Dreamdark" and Ye Olde and Abandonned Drafte:
-------------
I have much to say, and no brains with which to say it. This is because all of today's allocated brainpower went on two pieces of French that had to be done and handed in to college before the end of this week, and I went into college today to get that done.
It has been done, and I am now Officially On Holidays. There shall be no talking about French until after December 26. Ancient history I reserve the right to blither on about in my free time, since I actually enjoy the subject.
Writing. Gods and little fishes. Who is this damned story about, anyway? You, yes you, down there in the back of my brain, stop jumping up and shouting and waving. I have enough characters, thank you very much. So many that some must die! during the course of the narrative.
All the interesting deaths are still in the future, unfortunately. We are left with attempting to shoehorn exposition! into the opening pages and trying to disguise it as CharacterDevelopment®!
I like intrigue. I like it too much. This I conclude, on the basis of the evidence. I must also conclude that I have a fascination with scenery and rain. Rain. I have to get that out of my system.
This is my hundredth LJ entry. You'd think I'd be more profound. *g*
