Glowing Cat of the Nuclear Wastelands ☣<p><span>Welp, I got less done on Wandering City in Novemeber than I was trying for, but I did still get some good work in on it.<br><br>I started out the month at 2,851 words, ending the month at 10,405, resulting in a net gain of 7,554. Aiming for 30k words (1k a day) was probably a bit ambitious, and given the terrifying results of the election at the beginning of the month, the fact that I got any writing done anyway was good in and of itself.<br><br>Now, I did get other writing done during the month, but I didn't track any of it because it was for Emperor or personal fluff for my OCs I write in that setting. I had hoped to keep myself focused on Wandering City, but my swiss cheese brain didn't cooperate with that at times. Writing on projects other than my goal is still better than not writing at all, so I will call it a win on that front.<br><br>I think I'll go ahead and put the same goal in for Dec of 1k a day, and see how far I can get this month too.<br><br></span><a href="https://ibe.social/tags/AmWriting" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/AmWritingScifi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmWritingScifi</a></p>

Glowing Cat of the Nuclear Wastelands ☣<p><span>Okay, got a little further with The Wandering City. Starting to find the shape of things between Ronan and Wendell. Hopefully this means I can progress to the city itself soon, instead of just setup in mundanesville.<br><br>I still need to decide if I'm going to firmly root this into a version of our world (vaguely 20 years ago), or if I want to diverge a bit or keep it vague. The setting outside the city probably doesn't matter as much. It should be familiar enough to the reader that I shouldn't need to fill in a lot of detail. I can save the world building for the wandering city itself, which I want to be noticeably alien. I want the reader to kind of share Ronan's skepticism of it being too good to be true, to want to know the catch. I'm not sure if there is a catch or not, but if there is, Ronan's going to need to figure out if he can live with it in the end.<br><br></span><a href="https://ibe.social/tags/AmWriting" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://ibe.social/tags/AmWritingScifi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmWritingScifi</a></p>
