Well, I’m homeschooled so nothing has changed there XD

Ah. I was/am also homeschooled, I’m just taking some advanced classes in a career placement high school.

But it did slacken up a little again. HEMA resumed, which is awesome. Also I have my first tournament tonight, which is both terrifying and very exciting. It’s a really minor tournament, just the club and just for learning, but it still makes me a bit nervous XD I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m going to get my rear kicked multiple times, it’ll be great

Sounds like great fun! Even the rear getting kicked part. 🙂

One factor may be is that I’m now in the part right before the midpoint, which is a section I loathe writing. The initial excitement of the project has worn off and I haven’t yet hit the midpoint, after which things start getting more exciting.

I can empathize, and yet my WIP’s mindpoint is located closer to the 75% mark than the 50% mark, so we’ll see how that goes. xD

I’m also having trouble balancing external plot and internal conflict. I have a lot of internal conflict which is great but I’m struggling to get enough external plot to duct-tape it together.

I know what you mean, it is a struggle. But I really enjoy meshing the internal conflict with the main plot, and having different characters’ flaw and lies clash with each other and the plot.

However, I’m pretty close to the outline still and I’m happy with how it’s going!

I invented a few chapters out of the blue, but I’m sticking pretty close. xD

The only unplanned development was that two of my characters ended up falling in love. Whoops. It happened completely by accident, I was just writing them and then it struck me that they shouldn’t be describing each other like that.

Well we know what was in your mind for them while you were writing, even if it was just the subconscious. 🙂

I’m very close to 50k, which is much further than I thought I’d be by now.

Nice. When do you plan to finish the book?
