clarentineYep, he's got a name and everything - and, of course, with the name comes personality, and background, and I even got a glimpse of the Why of the book this morning while thinking about this guy. I could do with a visual image of the man, but that would suck up entire hours, and I don't want to waste a perfectly good holiday home alone (except for the VERY NEEDY, MOM dogs) browsing the internet for just the right Hispanic-not-Mexican face.
(For those who helped out with the naming of the protagonist yesterday, he's settled on Gilomar, Gi for short. Thanks muchly!)
Oh, and I hit my word count target for the day by noon, after noodling around for the morning doing light chores and thinking I needed to write before everyone else got home. I finally got tough with myself and, around 10:30, set an arbitrary deadline of noon. Seven minutes 'til, and I had my words.
Time to take a break, go herd dogs around in the back yard (assuming the drizzle has let up), and then contemplate lunch. I was good this week. I may go out and splurge on lunch that isn't leftovers or pre-packaged frozen.

Sigh
Re: Go You!
Date: 2007-01-12 06:54 pm (UTC)We have rain as well. I suspect the entire East Coast does. I'm just glad I get to be home, rather than running around downtown in it, and that it held off while I was out getting lunch.
Silly younger dog insisted on going out just before I came back downstairs, even though I told her there was no point, she'd only go out, stand in the rain, and then run back inside. I was off in my estimate of how long she'd stay out by about a minute and a half. *g*
