Writing Update and a few other things

morgynleriTrying to think about updates for what's going on with the writing has been helping me prod at working out things for stories/series/AUs I have, so be aware I'm probably going to start posting a little more often again. And at this point, I'm doing my posting from DW, and crossposting to LJ for my fandom journal. In part, to get myself to use my DW account more.
Right now, working on the AU with a teenage Henry some more, only this time editing the first part, and will continue it through further stuff once done the editing. I'm a bit less fussy about where it's at now, though I'm still trying to figure out how/if this is going to make sense in the context of history. Even a fantasy label only helps me with my headspace so far before I get back to fussy about what I've written, and not being sure it's right (enough).
On the other hand, it does mean I've been doing more research, and have found a useful site to poke at the nobility of the era and their connections and where I'm going to insert certain created characters into the scheme of things. Along with more time-line research because I'm doing some alterations of the timeline, and because I'm just crazy enough to want about every relevant and important event in England and France for the period of the story in the timeline. Even if I don't actually use them in the end. *facepalm*
And Henry is still a very... insistent muse. Though he's been having loud arguments with the chorus of the story, to the amusement and annoyance of any other muse that usually is present. Ah well. At least the arguments usually also mean that I'm going to have something more to write down. I'm a little more comfortable with the beginning of the story now, though I'm not quite sure about the next scene, which should be the last set-up scene before Henry and the female lead meet with the way the new timeline is laid out. I hope. Apparently it might involve putting a loud argument to paper, though at least Henry isn't the second party involved with arguing with the chorus.
I'll have to see, though. Wherever it goes, I'm pretty sure I'm also going to end up with another new character to add to the fun, although all I have for her is an idea who her mother might have been, since I've been prodded by the chorus and company regarding their relations. The chorus has developed serious political ambitions since he first introduced himself to the story.
Anyway. Off to do more writing. Once I separate the muses.
Also, before I forget!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hyarrowen, you are wonderful and I'm glad you took on the story to beta-read, because this is going to be better for some of the suggestions you made.
