clarentineOn the 14th, the person who was hired to fill the admin position I’d been dragooned into covering finally started work. Yay! It’s very good to be able to focus on my job again. (Of course, I’ve since gotten dragged onto a committee to study our office’s transition to Voice Over IP telephony, but I’m hoping that will be less intensive.)
So, while the writing pretty much stopped for a couple of weeks there, since last Thursday things have been looking better. I’m spending less time reading fanfic (or re-reading, which is a sure sign of burnout) and more time working out the next scene in Lynch. Earlier this week, on the bus, I got a page and a half of material, written in the notebook I bought myself last week specifically for this purpose – that I just had to write down. It’s good to have characters burning a hole in my head again. *g*
The third of the four characters this book has demanded is about to step out onto the stage, which means I need to get him firmly in my head. This morning’s bus time was spent thinking about Cal, his needs and wants, hates and loves.
New words: 2304
Total words: 19,968
Mean things: traps, physical and metaphorical; what happens to a person shut up in a box who really, really does not like them.
Research: images of people of the time. Working in the near past makes this so much easier!
