clarentineUgh. We've spent a good bit of time this weekend timbering, laying in wood for this winter's heating season, and as a result I've had neither time at the computer nor idle time for thinking about the next bad thing I can inflict on my characters. Last night's word count was particularly anemic and full of words I just know are going to get cut when the war revision comes. Ah, well. Maybe today will be better.
New words: 304
Total: 5586 (so, realistically, not a bad week; if I'd hit my 1K goal each day, I'd be at 7K, and my actual numbers are respectable by comparison)
Mean things: someone important to the heroine's in jail! And it's pouring rain, and the middle of the night, and no, she can't go get him free right now.
Research undertaken: men's suspenders, ca. 1909

I don't know that I've ever really had a heroine in any of my stories. (Female characters, even really important female characters, sure. Just not the person the story really is about.) Interesting. I have a feeling I have a learning curve coming up.
