How To Write a Novel — Shadowing
Day 47 of writing my novel in public
I’ve started something scary here on Medium. It’s something I’ve done before, but never in public. I have a process that I’m going to follow, and I’d like to share it with you.
If you want to follow the journey from the start, go here.
If you missed yesterday’s, you can find it here.
Day 47 — Shadowing
The last two days haven’t gone exactly to plan. But that’s okay. Yesterday I realised that I needed to introduce Miasmus into the baking process so that he can add his secret ingredient, so that became the scene I wrote. Today I have the story threads that didn’t make it into yesterday’s scene to use in today’s scene.
There are two parts to the scene today. First Charlie will attempt to shadow Miasmus and discover the password for his penthouse. When that fails, Sandy will offer to tell Charlie the password, if he promises to take her with him.
These are the story threads.
- Charlie follows Miasmus.
- Charlie tries to see Miasmus getting into the penthouse
- Miasmus catches Charlie trying to see his password. Miasmus says curiosity killed the cat.
- Sandy knows the password…
