It's hard maintaining two journals, not just one. I have to admit I find them a lower priority than many other things, including my own work. But at least today, despite working late and having to take care of various tasks involved with the move, I made some headway with the outline for Catalyst in the Crucible. I decided to try writing character arcs (as described in Maria's blog here: http://mariazannini.blogspot.com/) instead of a standard outline. Perhaps this is closer to how I picture the story, but I find it easier to get words down with this method. OTOH, the story is closer to what I wrote in the first draft instead of what I have planned for the second. There's still lots of work to be done before I can finally go back to writing in earnest.
