The duellist of Alusind
Words today: 342
Words total: 400
Yeah, I started again. From scratch. Hopefully with a better idea of where I'm going, this time.
Reason for stopping: quota
Exercise: some walking
Darling du jour: "Bad night?" Jolay leaned on the doorframe, hands folded loosely over the belt of her long trousers. Deliberately in view.
This year's lesson: how to make sentences do more work.
Alas, I fear it'll be next year's lesson, too.
Tyop du jour: N/A
Words MS Word doesn't know: stickily. (I'm not joking.)
Research: Renaissance dress styles, Georgian dress styles. Bones of the wrist.
Mean things: Scars, old wounds, unexpected visitors.
Books in progress: textbooks, Rosalind Thomas, Literacy and Orality in Ancient Greece, Tobias Bucknell, Crystal Rain
The glamour: Family. 300 words on the social organisation in dark age Greece essay. Holiday madness.
One good thing about the long fallow period with regard to the novel: I know a few things about Santander Cray now that I didn't before. I knew she drank too much. I knew she didn't like to be touched. I knew she pulled reckless stupid self-destructive stunts even though she's old enough to know better. But I didn't know why.
Now I think maybe I have an idea as to why, and things fit a little better.
(You didn't need to know this. But I'm sharing anyway.)
