Time Spent: 1 hour
Total Time: 3 hours

It took a while to get to my writing time today, but I spent a little more than an hour this evening on the trilogy. I am adding this to time I spent on Friday and over the weekend to make it three hours spent so far.

What I am doing is mapping the territory. Writing the zeroth drafts of the trilogy books involved making up an enormous amount of stuff: characters, towns, animals, geographical features, cultural tics, predatory plants, and (of course) plot. The first big task is to put together a mind map which collects the details of the story.

last summer and mapped another three chapters of book two this evening - I've captured ten of book two's twenty five chapters.

More tomorrow!
