Nano grinds on...
Nov. 15th, 2012 12:58 pmSo, my humourless humorous novel drags on. It seems to be getting there though.
My captain Bligh has resulted in a certain amount of entertainment. I committed the carinal sin of telling, not showing. I've given him a victim, which adds a lot of personality, reveal the captain to be a total bully, and does justify the mutiny. I think I need to crank that up to 11, but I'm lacking the imagination there. Adding some superstitions resulted in a moderately funny scene where they actively avoid talking about the weather because that makes the storm a lot worse. The whole "Don't mention the weather" thing needs to be brought to the foreground a bit more.
My current audiobook mentioned a historical character who gave a ministerial position to a rosebush. I feel my mad king will also do something like this.Not sure where I can go with it though.
In other news, met a nice girl on OkCupid...
