morgynleriI got a chunk done after ending up home early from work. And am looking at it and muttering about telling instead of showing, though the passage works with the style of the story. I think, though, I'm going to have to go back to it tomorrow or on the weekend, and expand it. Try to show more than tell, at least for some of it, particularly the opening bit. Which is going to involve figuring out exactly how I'm going to go about the characterization of Henry Beaufort as more than the briefly-seen figure he's been so far. Ditto Thomas Beaufort. Not an impossible task, save when I'm tired and slightly frustrated.
So, tomorrow or Friday or Saturday. Taking three paragraphs and turning the first one into a more expanded scene, at least. Possibly leaving the other two mostly as is, if they follow on well enough from an expanded scene. And after that, a scene break and another Chorus scene. And then playing with Henry IV again in a scene that is going to involve an argument.
However, first need to get the expanded scene done. By the end of the weekend. *is determined*
