For the first time in a while, I broke a 1000 word writing day! A lot of my writing this month has been ‘write 1500 word scene over a week,’ but today I managed 1208 words.
Seems kind of sad after November and December’st three to five thousand word days, but its better than most of this month has seen!
I am 5,229/10,000 towards this months now reduced goal, and thinking about research.
There is a location in Changeling’s Fealty that is very specific and very real. I have taken some liberties with its status (I don’t think it is fully closed in reality, but I have it being shut down and under renovation in the book). If it is still open, it is actually theoretically possible for me to go do a walkthrough and get a feel for the interior layout (which has been made up out of whole cloth and some knowledge of the hotel’s real life structure).
However, said hotel is notorious in the city for being… let’s say not safe. My dedication to research does not stretch far enough for me to walk into the city’s most notorious locale to get the architecture right! Not yet, anyways XD
So all I can do is hope I have it ‘close enough,’ and rely on the fact that very few, if any, of the potential readers of the story will a) identify the place, or b)have ever set foot in it!
Namaste all,
Glynn
