julian_griffithProject: If Jane Austen Had Written Guinevere She Would Have Had Some Sense In Her Head
Deadline: Labor Day-ish
New words written: since my last update? 1017
Present total word count: 52222
Mean things: She has to ride sidesaddle
Fun things: She gets to jump a hedgerow anyway
Stimulants: I forgot to eat dinner
First half of the riding scene done. No bracketing for transitions or research this time; letting the dialogue and action carry it. I hope the readers like horses? Also, the viscount hasn't said much in this half of the scene, although he's been complimentary.
Next half, he gets to do more talking, because they're going to talk about the war. Also next half, I get to figure out what was in the picnic hamper that the little sister was so excited about. Peach tartlets, maybe?
I meant to set the timer for 30-on, 10-off, but didn't hit the start button, and by the time I figured that out, I was on a roll, so I went with it. About two hours of writing time, with a short break to prepare carrot sticks.
Not too bad, I think.
