Absolutely nothing for me today. I had a hectic day and felt unwell at the same time, so it was all about survival.
But there's always tomorrow.

Quite a lot of procrastiknitting — and 360 words on the WIP so far :)

I had a pretty good morning, maybe 300 words or so — not in chronological order mind you, but a series of short interstitial segments that introduce longer scenes. I think the format will work out pretty well, and it helps me focus on the underlying emotional arc.

I had to do more freewriting exercises for my course, so used the People Travelling with a Death Worm (which has become decidedly smaller and less deadly, if not even slightly less ugly) for it. 400 words, and they're heading into an ancient abandoned city.

I don't know if the Death Worm will stay a Death Worm as I keep writing or devlop into some other sort of cryptid (with, for instance, legs :) but we'll see.

Day 18: Another busy day from end to end. But I read the script to The Monks of St Thomas Affair (MFU) and have a good idea of what I want to do.
So tomorrow that's the first thing I will write.

I wrote a wordy post yesterday — and three posts to my Dreamwidth/ElJay today — one of which was fannish...so hopefully that counts, lol!

147 words on a traveling day! Better than I expected tbh.

Too much busyness - an online talk about the ways mountains have been mapped, and then the fiddle class, where we were trying to figure out how to record ourselves doing something for the end of term.

But I did make a start on writing about a little exhibition the NLS had, about a lady called Henrietta Liston, who went to Constantinople as the wife of the British ambassador in about 1800, and wrote about her travels. 107 words.

On the walls were a few slightly more tangential things - I liked a map of Constantinople showing all the embassy buildings clustered on the northern peninsula, but even more interesting was a page of diplomatic code, both for the Stephen Maturin link, and as an insight into the kind of things that you might want to say.
