Considering I’ve had a nasty headache all day I feel pretty good about what I accomplished today. I did a word count of Griffin and I’m nearing 27k, so I’m pleased. A bunch of those words are at the beginning of the story, and a bunch of them are at the end… Now I just have to put a whole bunch of words in between.
I have to write what comes into my mind, so the last little while it’s been all the build-up to the climax of the story. Eventually I’ll figure out exactly how she gets there! It’s such a fascinating process.
My work schedule is so busy this fall that I’ve had to set aside blocks of time for writing. It’s working pretty well. Some things have to be neglected, and since it can’t be the writing and it can’t be the kids.… Golly, look at all those dishes over there. Wow.
Lol. I get those fascinating dish effects too — they look like elaborate sculptures if viewed in profile in the dark with light coming in the window behind them. Very pretty. Must be why we leave them there. To develope that gradual artistry, that highly visible patina of a life absolutely filled with far more important things to do.
