conceptual phase

Oh damn.

Write a scene, let it play out for 20,000 words, then ruthlessly cut it down to pure meaning you dong
Also work in some pullups. Blood pumping helps ideas flow and just gets you motivated to write more.

I don't UNDERSTAND
>>7997245
It's over for me, guys. I'm not gonna make it. I wanted to write a tale about how Jesus's coming spread throughout the mythological pantheon and in jealousy the Gods and Goddesses started birthing their own human avatars. But I'm weak. I'm going to go eat cheeses and worry alone.
>>7997260
Oh its about jesus? Yeah that's probably for the best.
>>7997276
No. It's mostly about Aphrodites, whose human avatar suffers the most, mistakenly couching her inborn vanity with modesty and veiled haughtiness. Sort of a fish out of water story with her character vacillating between the unbound spirit she intuitively remembers she is and the bound mortal coil she now inhabits.
Jesus can make a guest appearance but I had not considered it until now.
10k words? that's nothing.
