I had a good night last night, after posting -- 750 words! Plus a bit of thinking about the upcoming scene; I'd earlier decided to change around how it will play out so I can fit in the scene I'm now writing. This evening has been a write-off, we were invited out for drinks and now I'm feeling tired, but hopefully I can refind the momentum tomorrow. Most of the good new words are spoilerific, but have a carefully snipped bit...

...‘Yesterday,’ I went. ‘I should have…’ but before I could strain the usual words through my teeth, Cobweb started to sob. They were like last night’s tears as much as a sunfish is like a starfish, and they went on for another of those centuries that probably wasn’t.

‘He never told me,’ she howled. That wasn’t what I’d been expecting. She snivelled a bit and pulled out a hankie with a wide border of scalloped lace that put me in mind of Pebble’s and dabbed her eyes and blew her nose. She scrumpled the fancy linen in her fist then thought better of it and straightened it out a little. ‘I thought you might know.’

That's terrific progress! And drinks of a Friday night are nice, too.

Thanks! Now I just need to get going again...

After 750 more words yesterday, you deserve drinks out tonight, I hope you had a good time :)

Tears and a hankie, the PI's worst nightmare!

I don't think my protag's much like Sherlock, but he's probably equally uncomfortable with comforting duties.

An excellent time, thanks! Though driving back in the gales wasn't fun. Lots of big tree branches and a flood.

The protag was friends with her husband, so even less pleasant, I suspect.

Great progress there.

Thank you!

I'm so glad the writing seems to be going more smoothly for you :)

It was a sadly short window. Sigh. One day I'm going to tie my muse down, or lock him/her in a cupboard.

Poor Cobweb - it is interesting to see what the narrator thinks about while she is crying (the descriptions and what he notices....)
