A group of owls is a parliament of owls.

Less macabre, but I still like it.

Beginning to suspect chronological order is chronological for a reason.

I've never seen Memento but I feel like my book is in some real Memento territory. The villains are defeated and the heroes have resolved their arguments and fights.... but how did anybody meet in the first place?

Should I perhaps add a scene that explains how they figured out the villain's plans?

So instead my goal for #NovelNovember is to write 8 scenes.

And if my book-math is correct, once I have those 8 scenes down... I think I'll have a whole entire first draft.

This is only the second book I've ever written in and highlighted.

It's also a very fun read. The pacing is a little slower than I normally like - but it's because of the level of detail in the description so I wouldn't trade it.

That's horrendous news. It is a lovely bookshop and I hope the damage is minimal.

Thanks Alexandra. Very valid point. It is what I'd normally do. It's just that I normally have a couple of pages but this time I think I'll have a stack by the time I get home!

You're probably still right though, and breaking it up over a few evenings would make it less of a task.

I normally type everything as I go but am travelling without a laptop at the moment - and now I have pages upon pages of scribbles to type up when I get home.

Hard pass on any site or app using 'AI' for transcription, but the Premium ones I found all seem to operate on monthly subscriptions and I just want to use it as a once-off.

Anyone got any suggestions for handwriting to text apps or sites (non LLM) ?

Though at least part of the comedy came from the fact that I was only a few seats away from a woman who audibly gasped every time there was a revelation of any kind.

Very welcome! I think everyone should get wholesome 'day-to-day activities of a wizard' updates.

Thank you! You should, that's a great oddly specific joke. Stubborn stoic character? Never raises a full eyebrow?

This is one of my favourite lines from my WIP.

This is shortly after a half-smile, just for context.
