Lately I have written So Much Actual Story
(compared to other years)

but its frustrating because even though I'm using an RPG module to provide the action I am still bad at plot
so they keep sitting around having conversations.

And I keep writing all the sections at least twice so there's stuff Actually Happening, once I know what conversations they want to have right then.

Still though, at this point they are actually in a hell dimension, there should be screaming audible, there are devils in the room next door
and they're sitting around having conversations.

*sigh*

It's because I split the party and now they have to wait for the others to turn up
but that's because the main argument they're all having is
why are we even here?

which gets in the way of the plot.


I was about to type it should all roll along better when everyone arrives, but, I have met me
I bet they're going to want to just talk.

This is hilarious, I'm exactly the same! I try to think of it as the conversations being the skeleton of the story, and all the plot & other stuff being the flesh. That way it feels like I am just working smart, rather than adding stuff belatedly because it didn't really consider it in the first place.
