After posting my last comment I got a chance to take a walk and think aver the situation more. In the process I realised the clashing colours shirts were business attire. What my MCs are about to be introduced to formal wear for this culture.

I need 2 flamboyant colours that really don't go together for a shirt design.

After much thought and some prompting by my DD I have decided to put Niv on a dance floor where he will have to play his part in a number of group dances from the era of Jane Austin novels. Looks like I have some research to do.

Pages of brainstorming may finally be coming together into words to put down on paper.

How many readers are going to squirm over the direction this scene is headed? How much sweat is too much?

I've been dreamifying a snippet from Sweep The Forge to make a point in the opening of this next scene.

This scene is proving hard to write. Why does this always happens when I'm working with human emotion rather action?

I need this character to hide an insult in a compliment as he leaves the ship.

a large disc with a long spire studded with docking points rising from each side. From their new vector it appeared Array Cryfa was located three kilometres above the core.

They heard the light footsteps Ormr always made cross the common. "Just how big is that thing?"

Niv glanced over his shoulder. "Each spire measures a little over five kilometres. The disc, about 3 kilometres in diameter."

Words are flowing though the pace is slower than I'd hoped for today.

Hmm. What is the commander of the Royal Corvette thinking about what a ship of unknown signature is doing in the region he's been commanded to investigate?

A rousing brainstorm session has enabled me to close of chapter 5 but left me with a few points I might have to tweak in earlier scenes.

260 new words crafted today. I may not be a words per day powerhouse, but I have still written and published 3 novels with this being number 4.

Present scene in my is taking a on few new twists as I make sure it includes an existing thread I was in danger of leaving untouched too long.

Took some time to seed in details related to the plot twist option that opened up for me yesterday into earlier scenes. it's time to weave these new threads into the scene I'm writing.

I have since figured out my twist has an Achilles Heal by way of a question my MCs can't avoid.

I've just brainstormed a twist factor I'd completely overlooked until now that grants me a degree of flexibility I hadn't seen coming.

This design has changed since I created it. One day I'll take the time to create an updated model but until then I still have this to play with.
