Writing Is Not an Alibi

It took me almost the whole week, but I FINALLY wrapped things up with the side plotline about Erthel’s job and her relationship with the rest of the village that was bugging the hell out of me. I didn’t really expect this point of the to-do list to be so hard, but it’s not that surprising given that it gave me quite the trouble during the first draft too and I ended up dropping it halfway - so I gave up the chance of finding the story while writing it like I did with the other plotlines. But anyway, what matters is that I actually found a solution I like, so onward I go!

Updated Replotting to-do list:

• Erthel’s mom’s backstory [done];
• Erthel vs. the investigation [done];
• Erthel vs. her job [done];
• Erthel vs. herself;
• The Arvelsen and Valdersen bloodlines;
• The Ending and the Aftermath;
• Based on the previous results, building of the revised plot outline.
