Today’s task is…
Task #179 (Nano #13): Decide the starting point of your story and write out the one sentence description of the chapter (use more than one sentence if you need to) Add in a bullet point lists of things you want to show in this first chapter below the sentence.
As it is Chapter 1 it is still in Act 1 (Act 1 for me will be Chapters 1-4) And so…
Chapter 1: Ames is running late, he gets ready in a hurry, races to the university and makes it to his class where he uses a reproduction of an artifact showing the Couran to lecture about the difference between myth and history ending the chapter asserting that he does not believe in the Couran as anything more than supersticion.
- show that his apartment is all about work, no family or significant others, his work is his life.
- show that he has many real objects as well as relics.
- Also show him refuse to leave the house without checking to see if he has the protective amulet on.
- he is a well liked professor and habitually runs late.
- physical characteristics of ‘native population – blue eyes, high cheekbones and blue-black hair.
- Note that almost no one else on the university staff shows these characteristics, they are all either empire of earther mixes
I think that will cover me for chapter 1. I will probably be adding a few points about his lecture that I want to make as I go through planning my chapters. Since a lot will later reflect what he finds, I will tie those together and make sure the lists work together. While it is set up, this will be an ever rowing list I will revisit until I write, so that everything is in the same place.
