Words: 514
Total words: 4,088
Overused word: tunnel
Gratuitous word: ideograph
Type of scene: No, really, I wasn't joking when I said the spaceship was creepy. Here, let me explain why.
Challenge(s): Lots of "Oh, wait, this circumstance that I just described means that this other thing should happen earlier in the story," and resultant scurrying around in the narrative.
Which example of the spaceship's creepiness is it anyways?When they refitted Molly, they left the crypts. It didn't seem respectful to move them. It wouldn't be right if we let passengers go in and muck about in the bones, though.
Notes: I'm starting to "see" the scenes I'm writing, which is good. It's not a main character floating in a metaphorical vacuum.
Other writingy stuff:
* Penthius freewriting, a high-potential idea about a--wait for it--synesthetic psychic police consultant.
* Posted writing log.
