A lesson learned (Typewriter Brodeo ITLJP)
While I was struggling and drowning under Shriekonomics (for reference and CERTAINLY NOT A PLUG http://www.weaponizer.co.uk/oneserial.php?subid=6&partid=1), two lessons became clear to me: one, never do anything remotely longform without a hard-ass outline, and two, I was throwing concepts out there (Artificers, bruja, different planar creatures, et cetera) without a lot of explanation to the reader (mostly because I was pulling them out of my ass like it was a clown car). That leaves me with three questions.
1) How much of that is too much? Should I decide to go to third-person instead of first, will it seem unwieldy?
2) Is it worth it, for something I'm going to go back to quite often, to make sure I have a glossary of all the shit I'm going to use, for my own reference?
Side note: I'm having the kind of day where I want to just kind of say "fuck it" and raise radishes and turnips in my garden and sell them at the Farmers' Market.
