officially sick of the sofa
Wrote some. 1300 words. That's nearly half a chapter! If I'd started earlier, it would be a whole chapter.
I need a deadline. End of February for a first draft. That's ten chapters a month...2.5 chapters a week, plotting as I go.
Sure. Let's go with that.
Also, I can't get through The Scar for the life of me. Maybe when I'm in California for the holidays and have no choice but to read. Maybe then. But I swear to god if he doesn't stop describing the ocean floor and get to a goddamn plot....
Magic for Beginners, however, is absolutely captivating. Figures that this is the same person who co-edits for Small Beer Press, which published the super-excellent Perfect Circle by Sean Stewart.
- I remember when I was told the story of
crushed velvet, candle wax, and
dried up flowers.
The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses, calling,
beckoning to sleep, offering a dream.
