Okay... doing a bit better
Nov. 7th, 2009 10:06 pmCaught up some lost ground... And sort of have some plot that I can still remember to write.
Trouble is, the story seems to be going in a slightly different direction. My additional character made a very persuasive argument about what my highwayman needs to do. Rewrote it, complete with an impassioned speech, and additional motivation of ethnic violence and severe social inequality, and my MC still refuses to deal with the problem.
My fictional country seems to have become 90's/2000's Yugoslavia. It was quite definitely influenced by the region, but I seem to have split the place up more or less the same way, had aggression coming from the same direction, ethnic conflict in the same areas, even having hyperinflation in the same areas. I'm not being all that explicit about this in the text, but I have made sure I have some idea of where things are happening.
