Originally, I was going to polish the piece I wrote yesterday because I thought it was too choppy in its transitions and that it lacked the appropriate amount of character and location setup/description, but upon rereading it tonight, I feel it's maybe alright. Plus, narrative exposition is one of the least interesting components of any story, so giving that task away to the reader's mind seems almost better in my opinion. Ideally, it is done sparingly and with ample dry wit a la Rowling. At any rate, the real hard part is coming up with the ideas for the pieces and last nights was rather a cop out since the main ideas were largely stolen from the D&D campaign that Jordan created and I was only one of four members playing. That means I should definitely come up with the ideas for the other two pieces that I goal(ed?) out for the 31st.

On another note, I shared my universe concept with a couple folks at a party on Friday night, and it went fine. They seemed to like the idea enough, and if anything I share reservations about the amount of divergence and interest therefrom that I've developed in the rest of the space there. So, I can reasonably spend time thinking about how the universes would have shifted after the base event given the assumption I made in either direction. Maybe universes only link when the divergence is super sharp or some stupid stipulation like that could explain why there are only two universes of import, though I don't really think that fact needs to be explained at all necessarily.
