This is MJ, Author, Artist, and Analyzer. I'm bringing you another 10 minute writing session. This one is from March 8th, 2024.
It is part 11 in Grow Bug Tale, chapter 15. And this is how it reads.
So the little one is called Timbertail? Hopper asked. Yep. Cinderstripe slowed to a walk.
And let me warn you, she's quite the jokester, so don't take anything personally. She means well, but sometimes she doesn't do well.
Hopper turned back to face Cinderstripe as he had kept on hopping before he realized he should slow down.
I don't get it. You just might. Get what?
Never mind. Cinderstripe sat and waited for his companions to reach him, and Hopper, who was now settled beside him.
Hello there! Welcome to Creelabot Island! Wave Rex beamed a toothy grin. I'm Wave Rex, and this, he pointed his tentacle tail at the creature bowing elaborately on his head, is Timbertail.
And that's as far as I got. I had to pause because it had been more than 10 minutes.
So, I like where this is going. I can see now that having Wave Rex and Wave Rex butted up right next to each other doesn't make sense.
I should say, you know, welcome to Creelabot Island, the tentacled dinosaur said. Or something like that. Or the dinosaur Critterbot said.
That would make more sense. And I could even, instead of saying the creature bowing elaborately, I could say the Critterbot monkey.
The Critterbot plant monkey. It's a strange thing, the plantamal. So I don't quite know what to call her.
And I need to double check in my notes to see, is it true that Gale Hoot and Timbertail are girls, while Cinderstripe and Wave Rex are boys?
I believe that is accurate. And that would make sense, based on everything else I've done so far.
But I just need to verify that and make a little note of that going forward so that I don't have to guess. I put all that work in and made a reference for myself so I wouldn't have to guess.
And I wouldn't have to, you know, work extra hard. I'd be able to say, okay, these are who these characters are. This is what they look like. Yada yada.
And I'll use that in my writing. And now I'm not using it in my writing. So, maybe I need to have it open. Maybe I need to use something else.
If I was working on a desktop, this would be a little bit easier, but I wouldn't be able to record the work that I'm doing and document it in the same way.
But perhaps that's not as important as having the clarity when I go into writing so that it doesn't slow me, so the confusion does not slow me down and hinder my progress.
So, anyway, that's it for now.
