So I've been getting more spam comments lately. It seems like marking comments spam when I delete them may be connected to me also getting comments like wicked freaking late?

So, you know. Sometimes I wait  days to come up with the perfect comment, but lately it wasn't me, it was my comment notification.

I'm having a hard time getting a bead on my heroine in Vigil, Jackson. Part of this is that she's *really* withholding. So in the text, it's a pretty distant 3rd POV, even though it's anchored with her except for scenes from the hero's.

It feels a little foggy in my head. I keep trying stuff to bring it a little closer, but I'm worried I started too soon. I didn't map out enough of the world's look. Didn't get a strong enough idea of the story's vocab.

But there's a point where you just have to start writing and hope you sort it out as you go. Because of my own frustration with Jackson's silence, I keep writing toward her self-revelation moments. I'm co-ordinating that a lot more. It's about time to introduce the main conflict, though. :snort:

I actually know much more about where Hyden's at, which is rare. And maybe why I've felt compelled to include small parts from his eyes. He's not talking about his past, but he's not thinking about it much, either. It affects the way he's acting, and he's aware of it.

No, with him, I haven't quite found the rhythm of his speech yet. It's based off of certain people, and that's too confining right now--because I haven't really made it his yet.


Boy, this book has every opportunity to be a disaster. And it's not even that marketable...
