Fantasy Opus - Paper & Blu tack

I've topped the 97,000 word mark which puts me in LOTR territory.

I think I've now got the first book roughed out and I'm into the second.
Several battles take place across the saga and I'm just planning one using bits of card and blu tack (no really). I do wonder if Tolkien ever did such a thing.

It's pretty hard to write battles which are very visual feasts, but I'm having a go.

Like cardboard chess:



Next I'll be using string and sticky backed plastic.

(A blue peter reference for Brits of a certain age).

Oh, also I've decided on two characters who aren't going to make it. It was a tough decision but it drives some of the final elements of the story.

That's all for now.
