rolanniI've sorta been ignoring the Gym Thing since early November. The gig at LL Bean didn't leave enough motivation, and then there was the trip to Colorado Springs, and, well, I just this morning went back.
Boy is somebody outta shape. It hardly seems fair: it takes so long to get into shape, and not very long at all to get out of shape. Ah, well, back to the thrice-weekly workouts, for me.
Not many words on The Nameless today, which I was finding exceptionally frustrating, until I realized why.
This bit here that I've been working on needs a whole lot of little worldbuilding details, all of which I needed to, um, hand-build on the spot. Which means that, while I wrote very little, I did a big chunk of thinking-out work for the rest of the story.
How many others worldbuild as they go? Or do y'all start out with a complete working knowledge of the story-universe you're working in?
Progress on the Novel Without a Name
