This chapter has been the easiest to write yet. I didn’t get caught thinking about what to follow up with even once. And yet it comes out as the shortest? Obivously there is much room to add to it.
The original idea was to introduce Arle here, then not have her appear again until the second arc. There may be room for her to appear again sooner, though. There may be necessity.
I’ve also considered having some chapters between arc one and arc two which set Clover and Shamrock aside, and show Arle and others working toward the transition. What it comes down to is how much of the events opening arc two should be explained before arc two begins, and how much of it should be trikle out to the reader during arc two.
NaNoWriMo Goals
With only 1,321 words written, I’ve just barely reached the 1,250 goal for the commute (over by only 71 words!) This also puts me over the 10,000 word (20%!) mark by 424 words, as I’m at a total of 10,424 words, with the goal up to this point in writing being 6,250 words. (Writing on November 1st gave a significant boost, I must say.)
Next step: Check my card of nightmares to use before starting the commute home, or I’ll be struggling to come up with anything to write! Arc two should be much easier as that one has its general events planned out (with a lot of room for expanding after November).
