leahbobetAugust 13, 2009 Progress Notes:
Saturnalia
Words today: 300.
Words total: 8300.
Reason for stopping: I have finally, finally finished Chapter 1, and this has reinforced that I need to sit back on the haunches a bit and think my way around this.
Darling du Jour: "G'morning," he said, because he was too damn tired to jump out of his skin.
Things Yet to Cough Up Their Names: The Pendulum's owner, who apparently owes Zeke precisely two favours; the band name Zeke and Gregory have been gigging under.
Mean Things: A little moment, sweet and small, that'll pay dividends later.
Books in progress: Daniel Rabuzzi, The Choir Boats.
The glamour: I am dangerous when not kept busy. I may have *cough* bought Civ4 tonight *cough*.
I vowed destruction of this chapter tonight, and destroy it I have. It is now slapped up on the 'shop for test-ballooning, and I shall send it tomorrow to the few people who have graciously volunteered to fly the test balloon too. And now, well. I have to think.
And it keeps being surprising how this isn't scary. Because I keep remembering how Above behaved in its early days, and this isn't all that different: slap down a good chapter or two, then back off, circle. Ask what exactly I'm doing and how I want to do it. Proceed, a little later, with caution.
Notably, I like how this gives me an excuse to go play Civilization now. ;)
