Routine

[elingregory]

Oh how I wish I had one! The event and the party are over. One went quite well. The other, as with all teenage parties, was both amusing and horrifying. One forgets how teens dramatise everything. Even a simple conversation seems to have been scripted by the writers of Eastenders. Naturally there was drama and angst and people crying in corners. My daughter assures me that that’s how one knows it was a good one. The dog is traumatised and is off his food. So am I.

But it’s back to school on Monday and while my other half won’t relish that, at least it will give the week some structure.

My pirate story has stalled so I’m re-reading it from the beginning to get myself back into the mood for it. I’ve deliberately ignored it because I knew that if I started to read it I would get bogged down in editing it – a bad move when it’s still not finished – but it’s nine months since I wrote most of the early chapters and there are so many details that I have forgotten. The second draft will be so much better than the first!

Also I’m liking my protagonist again which is a Good Thing!

I've stalled on a sex scene. I don't find them any fun at all to write [because of all the 'eww the dirty fetishising women' controversy] and this one sort of has to happen. I thought I could skip it and go back to it, but it's an emotional hinge for the rest of the story. *sigh* so actually they aren't doing much of anything at the moment.
