Summary: Writing is so damn random
I was trying to concisely lay out the plot for this story in paragraph form so I could get a reasonable outline written. I’m experimenting with something new to see if it will help me finish more things instead of existing in WIP hell. I get to the end and have this:
When Arnule, the cook’s youngest and homeliest son, breaks the ring of the head priest, he is forced to compete in the King’s Quest - a tournament to determine if the royal line is still worthy of the throne - to make amends. Only fools, glory hounds, or overly ambitious nobles compete in the King’s Quest. To make matters worse, someone has rigged the quest and the competitors are dropping out or dying at an alarming rate. Soon Arnule is pairing up Bertrand - another competitor - in a desperate attempt to stay alive till the end. Arnule knows he can’t completely trust Bertrand when it’s obvious the other man is determined to win and doesn’t mind keeping secrets to do so. But is that enough to keep himself from falling in love with him?
WHY DO I HAVE THE HARDEST TIME WRITING SUMMARIES FOR EVERY OTHER STORY I WRITE, BUT SOMEHOW COME UP WITH AN AWESOME ONE FOR A THROW AWAY EXPERIMENT?
*sobs at the randomness that is the life of a writer*
