Yes, I said I was going back to fiction… No, I don’t have it in me today.
What has me going on empty is the increasing amount of work I find I have to do in order to retcon things after not doing the work in the beginning of the process to make sure these things are set in stone and make sense the way I want them to make sense to the reader. In other words, my lore is jacked and I need to fix that. What I’ve decided to do is spend a little more time each day developing the lore for the stories I am working on. I feel like this patient development is the best approach. Meanwhile I am already far enough down the road on my novel series that retcon is the way to go here. Well, more specifically I am going to make it all make sense and dig deeper into the lore of these characters, so in the 3rd (and final???) book in the series they are reaching the point where their backstories are fully revealed.

- Took a writing reset day yesterday. Blog was all I was able to deal with.
