Instead of writing for hours today, I got distracted with trying to figure out how various characters were related. It matter to the plot, I'm not just being crazy.
This is what
I have created:
It's not entirely filled in, because not everyone matters. But I needed to know how two characters (the dark blue boxes) were related. Because my characters can't figure it out if I don't know.
It's been
fun. I've been picking arbitrary names that seem appropriate for when they were
born. The birth dates are just based on typical child-bearing ages for the
time. Once I figured out how to format it the way I wanted, it was pretty easy
to start plugging in names.
I wouldn't do
this again, unless I absolutely had to. It's a lot of work for something that's
entirely behind the scenes.
As for the
story itself, I've revised my goal, because there's no way in hell I'm going to
make it to 50,000 words. So I'm aiming for 30,000. It won't be an
"official" win, but it will be a personal accomplishment. I'm at
almost 26,000 right now, so I had better get back to it.
I'll see
you… probably when NaNo is over.
