This is MJ, Author, Artist, and Analyzer. I'm bringing you another 10 minute writing session. This one is from March 8th, 2024.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
It is part 11 in Grow Bug Tale, chapter 15. And this is how it reads.

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
So the little one is called Timbertail? Hopper asked. Yep. Cinderstripe slowed to a walk.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
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.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Hopper turned back to face Cinderstripe as he had kept on hopping before he realized he should slow down.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
I don't get it. You just might. Get what?

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Never mind. Cinderstripe sat and waited for his companions to reach him, and Hopper, who was now settled beside him.

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:55,000
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.

9
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
And that's as far as I got. I had to pause because it had been more than 10 minutes.

10
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:07,000
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.

11
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:17,000
I should say, you know, welcome to Creelabot Island, the tentacled dinosaur said. Or something like that. Or the dinosaur Critterbot said.

12
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000
That would make more sense. And I could even, instead of saying the creature bowing elaborately, I could say the Critterbot monkey.

13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The Critterbot plant monkey. It's a strange thing, the plantamal. So I don't quite know what to call her.

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:41,000
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?

15
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I believe that is accurate. And that would make sense, based on everything else I've done so far.

16
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:57,000
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.

17
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000
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.

18
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
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.

19
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,000
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.

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:30,000
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.

21
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
So, anyway, that's it for now.

22
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:43,000
