Writing diary (#16) + musings
Added 2025-04-14 17:30:02 +0000 UTCSo I’ve started on the next part of OYHS. The hardest part I’ve found is describing Los Angeles. You see with wwc it all comes from my head, with EC the places still hold similarity to what they looked like in the 70s. With OYHS it’s harder because Los Angeles is a character in itself, and so your girl is looking at 100 year old reference pictures and damn cities are confusing. Also, that should give you an idea of what’s in story for part 5. This chapter is longer than I originally anticipated. But this section is easier since I’m not using code to rewrite whole scenes based on Sky’s gender. Now it’s just flavour text.
Something about Sky I noticed. So it’s a case of character leading the writer. When I started writing them I didn’t set out to make them a believer. Going to catholic school doesn’t necessarily make one religious but it came unconsciously that yeah Sky would believe. It makes sense as well in the early 20th century in the western world it was common enough to just automatically believe in a God. But it’s nice when characters end up surprising me.
This section could be finished this week or early next week.
Bye, Jude.
