beccaelizabethAbout 4000 words. 0330. Time to sleep.
Day after tomorrow I have to get up at 0800.
Tomorrow only to be ready for 1000.
so, some might say past time to sleep.
I'm just not good at sleep anyway.
The writing is really really slow. Sometimes writing is like sewing with the sewing machine. You just hit the power and go whizzing along. And, okay, sometimes you go completely wonky or make a line that looks really drunk, but you make, and make a lot. This is the other kind. More like making a quilt. A really fiddly one, all made up of triangles, and you're not sure where they go until you've put them in all the places at least once.
But the words I do have I think belong there.
See I forgot how difficult it is to have a conversation thats just a conversation. Not a briefing or report or verbal response to plot, just a couple of guys talking. Even if they're talking about something, still there is talking. I keep on getting the urge to drop in a wodge of backstory in totally the wrong place just to make them make words. I'm not sure I'll ever get the conversation working right.
but hey, progress, yaay.
