Advancing

So, it's been a long time since the Fetterman fight anniversary, which was the last time I was around here.......
Well, the story is a lot closer to finally being written. I realised around December that the character dynamics and lengthy profiles and so on and forth was taken much too long and the story was going to take ages to finally be started so I cut off doing a lot of that and decided to bring everything together (after finishing the timelines of course and highlighting all the parts I wanted from them!) and make a compilation of all the fictional events that are/might appear in the story and sort them into different months, July through to January, which is still ongoing.
Meanwhile that is happening, some more events and character developments are taking place and I'm trying to summarise the character dynamics in a more note form this time. However, doing the compilation of the fictional events has helped the story speed up more and at long, long last, the orders on the day of the Fetterman fight have been sorted out (after quite a few discussions over them - and other things and events too!) and they are a lot more simple than they have been before. As well as that, the characters are really taking shape now and Carrington and Fetterman finally have a full relationship now, as well as a lot of the other characters. And I have to say, I'm really happy with it!
After the compilation of fictional events have been finished, they will all come together with the historical more 'factual' events and another set of timelines will (maybe!) come about that will help write a plan of each scene and so on for actually writing it, which I'm really looking forward too.
That has been the main thing happening in relation to the story since December. Amongst it, there has also been a fair few drawings, pieces of writing, annotating photos of the battlefield which got more confusing that I'd imagined (and looking it up on Google Earth too!) and other little things! :)
