Slow Start

Well...progress of sorts has been made, but not the amount I had initially wanted.

I have this short story I've been wanting to write for a while, and I thought that a good place to start might be to get this one done to kind of get back into the mind and rhythm of writing.

And while it is only a short story, I am doing an outline and character summary for practice and to make sure I have the elements and arc of the story straight before getting the story fully underway.

So that is where I am at right now. I am drafting this into five 'chapters' or scenes and using elements that I have dreamt up and sketched out in random notes scattered atop and inside my desk that will complement this story. Some of the design elements are really interesting, or at least I think they are, and while I am not going full on world-building, I do have several cultural elements that I am excited to write about and explore.

My goal is to keep this piece short but intense and if it falls within the length requirements, I will submit it to the Writers of the Future contest.
