A bunch of backstory

[lillilah]

I'm writing a section of my Mass Effect story that catches up with some of the secondary characters who we haven't seen in a while. It is really interesting to write. One of the things I've really enjoyed is fleshing out what is going on behind the scenes. These scenes are building on that. I did a lot of work this morning to flesh out the backstory for the scene I'll write next. Often, in my planning notes, I write something like "this character is here on a mission" and then move on. Of course, to write the scene, I need to know what the mission is. So, that was my morning. I figured out the mission, which involved a lot of backstory for other characters too. Eventually, I got it done and am really excited about this scene, as it has plot, introspection, and worldbuilding. Yay!
