I'm a nocturnal creature
May. 4th, 2012 01:21 amProject: Age of Sail Arthurian Angsty Romance Novel
Deadline: haven't got one
New words written: around 1K? Took some out, put some in
Present total word count: 33728
Reason for stopping: look how late it is
Mean things: grieving, choking on brandy
Fun things: steak and kidney pie, rhubarb fool
Stimulants: pizza and cinnamon sticks
A good portion of today's effort was in adorning the dialogue bones of a scene I wrote a couple of weeks ago with the flesh and clothing of narrative and description. Then I had to go on to the second half -- the get-him-drunk-so-he-can-grieve half. That took me down at least two blind alleys befre I got the conversation steered where it had to go. I finally did, and have brought it to the part where Marcus Birtwhistle finally breaks down. And I am leaving off for the night.
