It's a lonely life I live...

Damn but this novel-writing thing is hard. Spent most of the day trying to figure out this scene. End up with 1100 words, and I'm still nowhere near the meat of it -

- I did get lovely character-stuff in there, though. Post-traumatic stress disorder, anybody? These characters have lots of it.

I'm still nowhere near the meat of the scene, as I said. But I'm tired now, although I shouldn't really be, and I think I'll go to bed.

Tomorrow, perhaps, there shall be French and King Kong. Which probably means not much writing, at all.

YAY PTSD! Dirtboy has that, too, and boy is it fun. :D

Yeah. :-).

Twitchy, reluctant, liable-to-have-panic-attacks-at-any-moment characters are what I've got. And, working from the end, I haven't even written the stressor event(s) yet ::insert evil grin as appropriate::

I suspect PTSD is the least of your boy's worries. :-) I know it's the least of my characters'.
