One last effort, my friends, before pre-Christmas frenzy overtakes us all...

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!
May the magic be with us all!

I did write a bit last night - that counts as today, doesn't it? Managed to integrate the personal background of my newly minted character into the story without it seeming too forced; at least I hope so. These parts always come to me a lot easier because I'm hopelessly obsessed with detail - and then suffer like a dog when I have to omit 80 per cent of it or else my readers would die of boredom. * sigh*

Greetings, and belated holiday wishes to those who celebrated Thanksgiving!

Between the holiday and now, I've been steadily going from feeling under the weather with sore throat and headache to a bad cold. I'm just wrung out. Wednesday and Thursday were very busy with all things Thanksgiving, and for three days since, I've been mostly resting, reading, napping, and sleeping.

I wrote a little bit on Friday, only a half-page, but enough to get a complete thought on paper. And this morning I thought of a different spin I could give to a scene that just wasn't sitting well, and got a nice start on that before I ran out of steam. Fingers crossed for energy, and some productive writing days for the remainder of Pico.

780 words on two blog posts - finally finishing the one about the bridges, and writing one about yesterday's wanderings. But the books are feeling a bit neglected...

Steam as a method of power was not at all new by this stage - the first Newcomen pumping engines were nearly 100 years old, and it was more than 20 years since Watt had invented a way for his improved engine to produce rotary motion
