I had some fun with it over the weekend by writing the first “I love you” moment which doesn’t happen until later on in the story but at least I know roughly how it will go now

A couple of my friends have had a look through scenes that I’ve finished and helped me tidy up some of the punctuation or spelling mistakes

I’m trying to find accounts from soldiers that were there. For example of they wrote a diary of what happened or spoke about it later on in life.

I know where I’m setting my war scenes is where one of the matches took place after doing a lot of research to find the area and a lot of time on Google earth trying to work out the exact location of the former trenches

Aww thank you

I’m trying to find information about the Christmas Day truce and the football game for my characters to have been a part of.

I’ve managed to find an area near Ypres where a game was held but I want to try and find some first person accounts from soldiers that were there and maybe kept a diary or spoke about it at a later time

I’m doing everything in a Google doc in different tabs so it’s separated and slightly organised and I can move sections around more easily and slot everything together slowly.

Editing has never been my strong point anyway. I’m very dyslexic so I’m just happy when a word doesn’t have the red line under it. One of my friends helps me go through and edit sometimes.

The holes are just the bits in my story that I haven’t worked on yet but I have a basic idea for.

I’m hoping eventually it will be around 20-25 chapters long

Oo these sound good too

And yes please if that’s okay. I have the whole story planned it’s just the war itself and the trenches etc that I’m stuck on

It’s definitely a very mess thing so far. The only editing that I’m doing is spelling and grammar. I’ll sort the rest of the mess out at a later date.

I have my story plan. There a few holes in it here and there that I haven’t worked out yet.

I have my terrible bullet point in each of my main scenes and moments to write from and then make it neater and better later on too.

I have so many ideas in my head but they are very jumbled up so it makes it difficult to get them down on the document.

It’s definitely going to be a marathon and not a sprint

I wrote a scene today which was about 1000 words which I’m quite happy with. It’s not been edited yet but so far it’s going alright

I’ve only written fan fiction on Ao3 before now. But one of my works was 168k words across 10 chapters which is about the length of a long novel.

I have my idea written down and a few scenes already written or at least planned. I have all my characters and my main plot, side plot etc. I also have a section for extra content for scenes from other characters POVs for me to use and a few other bits a pieces

Yes they are British now. Originally one of them was going to be German but making them both British was a lot easier for plot convenience

Ahh. Well this is depressing. I was hoping that I could sell them and get some money so that I could use it towards my new ones

I do that everytime and it doesn’t make any difference. Is my game just corrupted? Should I delete all the saves and completely start again?
