Having one of those days where most of the sentences sound like, "See Spot run." Deciding to ignore that, I finished the latest scene in the Jaguar. There will be much re-writing in the future.

***
A wind rustled the paper. Alistair shut the windows and lowered the partition. “You should probably come up here before I open any more doors.” Alistair twisted around to look in the backseat.

Red scratched at the pink newspaper on the floor and stepped off it.

Alistair wrinkled his nose. “Good I have another copy of that.”

Sometimes 'See Spot run' sentences are necessary to move the story along. Kudos for keeping at it!

True. I told myself it was barely more than an outline, but at least it wouldn't just be in my head.

Getting the damn thing out of your head so you can do something with it is a big step, even if just in outline form. At least it is tangible!

Exactly. We'll see if that approach works with this one.

Everyone has sludge days. But that's what the second draft is for!

Wouldn't you know Mycroft reads the Financial Times :) I'm enjoying how matter-of-factly Alistair is talking to Red.

Yes, and normally that just puts me off writing, so pico is making me work through it!

Alistair seems to have a laconic approach to things. Of course, working for Mycroft may make it necessary.

That's what I was thinking. Initially, I pictured it lighter and chattier, but it didn't turn out that way.

I love the way he talks to the kitten.

Fun to see him talking to the cat - I wonder if it decides to listen to him.

Well, Alistair fed him, so Red may pay him some heed. ;-)

Umm yes, I've had those days. When words of three letters or less seem too complicated....

It's strange the way they come and go, like some conduit is clogged!
