marfiskStory 1 - Independence (Fantasy)
Story 2 - Sweetentime (Urban Fantasy)
Unlike the previous one where I didn't know where it was going, this story came together rather quickly in the shower. I actually raced out with my hair in a towel and in my robe to jot down the beginning and a synopsis, to make sure I didn't forget anything. The difficulty with this one was to come up with a way to tell the whole of the story without a lot of mechanical description of how the elves were doing what they'd done or even this world. I think I managed to show the interactions between the worlds okay. I skimmed the other and may have to change that in the revision.
What I learned? Well, I'm still a little iffy on the urban fantasy side. I write contemporary romance and fantasy, but I think the balance of the mundane with the fantastical is very difficult in UF.

So...what did I learn in this story?
I learned that I have to hit SAVE even when using Voice Recognition :p. I also learned that I tend to go dialogue heavy through VR and maybe I should try and focus on my storytelling more.
I also learned that trying to recreate the sweet parts from memory after a loss is a sure way to make me avoid writing. And even more importantly, that if I just let the story unfold again, it may be stronger in parts than the lost original.
I used the new Zettercise generator for this one: http://www.fmwriters.com/community/dc/Random_Zettercise.php
