trying boss
but its being rather persuasive  ::) (also I was only one letter away from spelling persuasive right first time! I want extra credit for that!)

I think its the diaper factor that's slowing you down spything!  You've just got to realize that when you get older and grow up these things will all come easier to you  :P

I think I am finally finally through this pass on what I have of TIWTBWO #3. (Except one line that needs to be moved back to chapter 5 as set-up, and one other similar-scaled moving something back to chapter 3.  Both of which will be quick and simple enough that I am leaving them to get myself going with next time.)

Through pass on chapters 8 and 9 again to check that what I did last week worked, tightened the end of 10, wnt through 11 and the opening para of 12.  A thousand words of additional opening frame written new, and I am pretty sure that the next bit of frame comes after 12.

Also, I have figured out where something in #5 may originate from in the chapters I have just written.

Total at this point: 48,205 words.
Mildly OCD. Please do not troll.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

Haven't actually wrote anything. Too lazy right now but I least I have something that sort of resembles an outline.
Here it is: A "man" is traveling through a vast desert with a horse, "raven", and a wagon full of Evolution. He comes upon a town centered around an oasis. The town is on the verge of political collapse and each side is desperate for a leg up. The "man" and his Evolution are the key to winning this conflict. But does the "man" really care?

Ive had a tough time describing the settings when I actually write and that usually stops me short. Any advice?

If you find that description is a weak point, shift the focus of your writing to something else.

My editor pointed out that my strengths lie in dialogue and how I describe action scenes, so my writing is quite dialogue-heavy and light on description, and that works for me.

@roteral:  Dialogue and action are hard to beat!  (says the guy whose strengths go that way himself)

@Spything:  Go go go!
