Tame Story Process

OK, I give in. It's now "Snow Comes to Hawk's Folly"

But the 'farm' still exists on paper.

This has been a weirdly tame little story. I outlined it thoroughly and then sat down and wrote it. I haven't even done a second outline...because I followed the first one pretty closely. Which is quite unusual.

Remember AB&B, where my outline got torpedoed completely in scene 1, paragraph 3! by the emergence of a new main character....and then his entire family showed up? The utter disregard for my outline caused me great dismay, but I went with it, mostly because the plot bunny is usually right about these things.

SCHF seems more like the plot bunny just filled me up with air and let me loose. Not his usual paws-over-my-hands on the keyboard. Iron Shoes was also much tamer than usual, despite my consistent worry of 'where could I possibly sell such a length?'

I don't know what that means.

Also, I've decided that my next plot bunny assignment must have characters who wear a lot of jewelry (I'm thinking rajasthani level of 'lots of jewelry'). And possibly body art.

I've been doing a lot of early 1900s clothing. I've ready for something different.

I'm just having fun imagining a proper lady in corset and "tats." ;)
