I started my Mass Effect 3 story last night. I knew the opening scene and several more beyond that. The only thing that saved my from typing even later into the night was the discovery the battery on the laptop was in the red and I was too lazy to get out of bed, and get the power chord.
Kimchee also helped by deciding to hurl on the bed. I thought I had gotten him onto the floor, but he had managed to drop one nasty horck right on the summer blanket. So then I had to change the bed at 1:00 a.m.
It strangely fun to write on this thing. Probably because there is literally nothing riding on it aside from my enjoyment. No editors, producers, executives, readers or viewers to make happy, or not let down. I just have to make me happy. And it’s fun capturing the voices. Kaidan, Garrus and Wrex have very distinctive voices. Shepard has a lovely baritone voice, but he doesn’t give away much. Channeling that reticence is hard to do in prose. I do have the advantage that he is very fragile both mentally and emotionally after the events in Mass Effect 3 so I can have him more emotive.
