//TRANSMISSION RECIEVED//
Things are going pretty well so far. Only a few things to report, as I’m still in the process of writing for the day. Successfully launched prologue, followed up with a scene snapshot of the main character almost dying at the hands of an occupying force. I’m trying to work worldbuilding in as subtly as I can, but doing so is tough work when you basically have no day/night rotation to work with.
Today’s hot tip: When starting out a story, it’s imperative that you plunge your hero into terrible trouble as soon as possible. Avoid throat-clearing and indulge your reader in the action as quick as you possibly can. Don’t focus on getting the reader to read through the whole book: you just need to get them to the next page.
I feel like I’ve started out pretty strong. But will I be able to rough it out to the end? Time will tell.
