Five character profiles completed today for Faradris. They all sort of spilled out; it’s an amazing feeling when the words and ideas are easy. One very minor character turned out to be extremely fascinating, and I had to check my outline to see if I was planning to do him in. He’s too good to waste.

I’ve finished basic profiles and brainstorming for my entire ensemble, so tomorrow I begin work on the setting profiles. I’m hoping those will go as well as the profiles today, though I imagine designing an abbey ruin and a city ward will take some time. Other locations are houses and rooms so those should just need quick sketches and descriptions.

If I can finish that this week, and go over my outline one last time, fleshing out subthemes, I’ll be set to start the first draft next week!
