It’s mostly been planning at this stage. Part of what I’m doing involves taking apart the basics of the Twilight series, and since that series is, itself, mostly trash, that involves casting a wide net and trying to find somethings, anythings to latch on to.
I’m also in that stage where naming major characters is on the cards. This is a pain in the ass. Particularly if I ever talk to Fox about it because then I’ll wind up watching her scrunch up her nose because she dislikes how a name sounds.
Still, we have some good bits! I have some motifs, and I have the structure and framing device I want to use. Given that I am feeling quite ill (still recovering from the convention) this seems like a net win to me.
