800 of those words are battle sequence.
H E L P.
It's a very chaotic battle because that's what battles are, if you think about it, it's not like in pokemon games where one guy goes and then the other and then the first guy goes twice because the AI is a cheating- anyway. Not the point. The point is that Holy duck with a typewriter, 800 words of chaotic action.
You folk had better like it, because it's killing my brain to find ways to make it happen- it's so messy and chaotic and there's screaming and feathers and light shining and shadows and oh no, that's going to hurt and oh my gosh did I not use any commas that is a run on sentence and H E L P. although Gatomon was quite clear on one point- she wanted to do a backflip onto a Violent and Attacking Unimon's back.
Well, I'm not going to argue with a lady.
This chapter should be up in a week or less.
Gatomon's orders!
Update as of 10/20/12
over 1000 words of battle and it's not done.
Conversation bits that I had while writing.
***
Me: Hee, I'm working on an action scene and have LoTR music playing.
awww, my music changed. less epic, but still pretty.
Him: but a fight scene isn't supposed to be really pretty, its supposed to be epic
Me: yes, I know! sigh. silly music. oh, now it's Narnia. Problem: solved
***
me: My battle scene is confusing me. maybe if I make it confusing enough it will seem like a real battle and the readers won't realize how lame it is.
***
me: Gatomon has decided to do flips. She's ordering me to write that she do flips.
This is madness.
him: No, This is DIGIMON!
So yeah. Chapter should be up between this Wednesday and Saturday.
Update as of 10/24

May I ask, ever so innocently, who you're talking to? And what 'holy duck with a typewriter' is?
ReplyDeleteI was talking to my wonderful boyfriend.
Deleteand Holy Duck with a typewriter comes from a kids book called " Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type" at the end, the Duck gets a hold of the Typewriter and sends letters to the farmer. it's a fun story.
