Hello everyone,
I feel like it's important to note that because the story is currently shifting to a new phase, it might make coming up with a continuation very difficult. This is mostly because right now, there isn't really any clear direction as to where the story is supposed to go next like there was before, where the goal was to make it to Cliffcross and create a battle between everyone, which did end in disaster as planned.
This can definitely make writing the next post harder. So, if you feel like you're having a hard time with a new post, know that it's not necessarily you.
I would also say that if you're stuck for ideas, it's totally okay to come to this thread and ask for help. Maybe for ideas, or if you're stuck with some detail, please feel free to make a post here
It's a team effort, so you don't necessarily need to write a post completely by yourself.
I'd also like to say that perhaps, it might be a good idea to discuss what the next phase is about. I know we've been writing discovery style this whole time but... what if we all work together to do some plotting? Not necessarily write a huge outline that details every little thing that happens next (I think that would be super boring), but some key plot points that cover the major events. This is so we can use those events as goal posts.
We don't necessarily need to do the above if this is not wanted though—it's just an idea. What do you all think? It doesn't need to be a massive effort or anything like that. All we might need to do is exchange some ideas between each other until there is unanimous agreement so everyone is happy.
There isn't a whole lot left. We've actually written 70k words total! That's so much, and it's honestly amazing that we have come so far. I'd say that another 15k-20k is enough to do the trick. The world is at a stage of catastrophe right now, which I think brings a lot of potential for a lot of tension through urgency. But urgency also requires a bit of an immediate threat ticking in the background. This can come from what Melina plans next. Remember that her goal is to assemble the gear, but what she wants to do remains unknown. I do actually more or less have an idea as to what this is but I think at this point, it's probably best that I stop keeping it a secret.
Thoughts?
