butterflydreamingToday's struggle resulted in 320 words. It took nearly two hours, including the "rabbit hole" distractions of glass blowing and riverboats. Add those to past distractions of steam engines, solar power, cisterns, homing pigeons, and velocipedes. Sprinkle them over the inspirations of Boliva Mar and Wash Away Beach.
Maybe I struggle because I think my story is fucking cool. It's the novel I want to read. Ciel is really filling out as a character. He tries to kill himself by drowning before the start of chapter one. Granted, he is drunk off his ass and has been worn down into depression by his circumstance. I know now that he's from "the Soup," a city slum, where he made friends with an ugly girl named Nox. Nox has since grown up to be a person of importance. She'll come in to the story later.
Now he is residing in an empty monastery on a piece of land that is being taken away by the ocean, cataloging beautiful books slated for destruction.
I think this post was longer than what I was able to write today. Eventually I'll get to a section that isn't so Fraught With Meaning and sprint some words. I think I'll write some later, something lighter and easier, like a character stuff that I won't actually be able to use in the story (because of the POV).
