Writing, writing, writing.
On Tuesday, I dug up a 2 page sci-fi story that I started a while ago and started to play with it again. It had started as the story behind the November picture in the calendar. A few weeks back, after I read it to my writing group and they seemed to think it was worth continuing, I scribbled out a rough outline of the story and left it at that. This week I decided to take it a bit further, and have written another 5 pages or so continuing that first chapter, and working out the rest of the plot. I'm hoping to write it as a romance with the backdrop of this big political intriguey kinda story, but I dunno if I'm capable of all that. But I hope it will be more spy stuff than laser guns and alien creatures.
I've also been toying around with the detective story, which already runs about 12 pages even though it doesn't have much more than a handful of scenes of the main character getting himself into trouble. It's weaving together slowly though, I expect that the longer I play around with it and add random scenes, the more the plot will come together. Non-linear writing. Just throw out the scenes as they appear in the brain, and edit them together to make the best possible story.
