Bookkeeping: Lynch
Oct. 29th, 2012 05:06 pmIt's blowing and raining outside my window, and I've finished up all of the rush-rush getting ready to weather the big storm (Hurricane Sandy, and may XKCD (http://xkcd.com/1126/) not be prophetic!) - I bought apples (and cider, and cornmeal) up in Nelson County at the Apple Shed, a favorite of mine, then put up crushed tomatoes and persimmon butter, then made and canned cranberry apple wine jelly, then baked brownies. Good thing I took some extra time off this weekend!
Getting all that accomplished did help work through the logjam in my head, and over the weekend (mostly today) I've managed to make some headway on Lynch. I'm just shy of 30K, and am busy finding ways to make the protag's lives more difficult. Back to work tomorrow, Sandy permitting, so it's time to report word count.
New words since last report: 3413
Total words: 29,415
Mean things: implied safety turns out not to be; being ordered about by someone younger than you; that mob is not giving up; hiding in far too plain sight; reminders of failure.
Research: more photos, this time for one of the supporting cast.
I can feel one of the protags evolving as I work out her backstory and motivations. She's done something despicable, desperate. It must, of course, come back to bite her, but I need to work out exactly how...which requires working out what she did. The magic in this book is a bit closer to the surface, more ritual than natural. It's relatively new territory for me. Lovely; I really needed a reason to do more research. ::wry face::
