Title: So Far Untitled Draft One (Fantasy)
Post by: Clari on November 08, 2019, 04:29:52 AM

I thought, why not try a dual timeline of sorts in under a thousand words. And why not make it cold. And vignett-y.

In short: a giant journeys up a mountain to a tower between the realms, to bring home the dying cloud spirit who once fell from the skies to make her wish come true.

I blogged my reaction, my mind?s idea to take the once-looked-at prompt to a freezing mountain that has nothing to do with the pic and all to do with me typing while walking out in the cold, the story itself, and some preliminary notes-to-self, all in my first post here (https://clariverse.tumblr.com/post/188888267909/writer-in-motion-week-one).

I have lots of self-critical thoughts about whether things worked or not, but I?m keeping those for next week?s post.

Nice! Lots of ways to go with this one to bring the focus in on a specific moment in the story!

I really like how you broke down your thought process and left yourself notes about what you want to revise. What a great start! Can't wait to see where this goes.

I really like the dual-timelines here, and I don't normally say that, but I got a poetic, folktale feel from it that I think really works!
