In today’s scene, my hero and guide character are navigating the literal fallout of the inciting incident as they pick their way through the devastation of the explosion.
Actually, while I thought this was going to be an action scene, so far it is mostly a description of the destruction as they move through it. I do have some action coming up as they will have to cross a particularly bad part, and I’m thinking of adding in some interaction between them and other victims – so far they haven’t passed another living or dead person, and that seems unrealistic. I’m not sure how my hero is even going to react to a hurt person.
The words came faster today and I am trying to worry less about being perfect with my story and description. The one thing I do need to do is to stay true to my characters’ personalities and let them push the story.
