Scaling back
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:11 am
I have been able to maintain motivation on this project and actually have a fair amount of story beats down. But as I am writing, I am realizing that I should probably scale it back a little bit. Initially, there was supposed to be a big magic element and they group set out on taking down an ancient evil order. But as I am writing the second half, I realize it would feel very forced and overly complicated. It seems to make more sense just to focus in on the simple college life aspect of things. I have a "mystical" aspect of the story that I can't change. But there may be other ways to get to that point
(It's reincarnation. I would need to figure out a way for all of their memories being jogged outside of "MC being targeted by an evil organization that survived decades and floating magic orb that they want to drain her latent magic power with". Cool in concept but seemingly very out of place given the rest. I'm stuck right now but I am sure eventually I will figure something out)
Any tips on making the over the top mundane? Or even just your experiences shrinking back your project in general?
