M’kay, think I finally have Scrivener set up – with completed manuscript of Lynette’s Choice: No Change Required I might add – and divided into ‘parts’ for the three men featured in book one. Have started character work on next femme to be featured, Allison Bolden; she will snag Robert Rowe in the end. I even traced her lineage back a ways, too….
Lynette’s Choice finished with 43,000 words; pretty happy with completed revisions cause they both add more detail and push the story forward. Will be sending query letters out, soon. I’ll keep ya posted! *grins* Also getting ideas how Allison and Robert’s story will start – she won’t be Faenapped like Lynette was, either. But those pesky Fae will make appearances.
Honestly, I think I’m happiest with finally having Scrivener set up for this world, more than anything. Think I’ll add my serial killer story to a Scrivener folder, too. I must say it is really nice, neat, helpful and fast to have all pertinent files in one location – for the Fae world, thus far – versus needing to rummage through oodles of text, Word document and image files to check details. Now, just gotta get myself into the habit of opening and writing in Scrivener instead of Word! *laughs* I’m a diehard Word lover, I gotta say, so this will be weird for me.
I went cold turkey from that darn time consuming dragon game, five days without logging in. Hence, the ‘yay’ part of my subject line. [And cause I have Scrivener set up!!!!] However, I replaced the dragon game with another game; breeding and competing herding dogs! Started with Rough Collies, added some Cattle Dogs [but I really hate the red coloration so will end up selling those off] and just added some high quality German Shepherds to my online kennel. You can also breed livestock – ducks, sheep and cattle; you collect eggs, wool and milk to earn farm cash, as well as anything you earn for selling puppies and livestock; you also get a small, daily sign-in cash allotment. My livestock will be ready to breed, age-wise, in a couple of day. Everything must be 21 days or older to breed, and there is a 5 day ‘cooldown’ period after breeding, before you can breed that particular critter again. I have a couple of second generation Collies I’m currently growing out to begin work on the ‘coveted’ third [or older] gen pups. Animals stats will likely be stable by third gen; first gen from imports can be wild… for instance, you can breed two dogs with stats totally 380+ together and end up with puppy’s having less than 100 total stats up to better stats than their parents. So yeah, caring for critters can be a bit time consuming – you should log in hourly to work them, but it actually only takes about 10-15 minutes to care for my virtual kennel/farm. I just haunt the sales area too much, looking for high stat animals! *laughs* Then I have to try to be patient and wait for them to reach breeding age – which is why I have other breeds, my impatience!
Wowsers, lots of writing about a game in a writing-related posy, umm… sowwy! *laughs* That said, I am so outtie….
