handful_ofdustYou would think it would be a lot easier to write a chapter which mainly revolves around incidents of voyeurism and fellatio than it's currently proving to be. But you would be wrong.
Since amended to add: Done today, otherwise...
—Transcribed 1,133 words’ worth of notes (on something completely different, but at least it gets them off my desk).
—Finally took a look at CBC guy’s outline, created a file and transcribed those notes as well, what little there are of them…just have to keep telling myself: “He hasn’t paid me. No fixed deadline”, etc., so I won’t feel like a total loser. We do what we can.
—Have almost decided to cut Chapters Five and Six of “Strange Weight” down to one large Chapter Five, instead. Must make sure to trim and squish while doing this so that the sudden reappearance of a particular group of characters reads less like Deus ex Machina and more like “oh HO, so that’s what happened during the part I didn’t see.” Also really need to figure out if it’s ever been entirely necessary to explain just WTF that thing that isn’t an angel actually is, or not.
—Find myself unexpectedly picking away at “Signal to Noise”, which may be coalescing into something doable at long last. I think I’m still missing a couple of scenes, though—not just the markers where they should be/need to be filled in, but any genuine idea of what should go between points H and I, or what-have-you.
Hmmp; brain seems frozen. I think I need some food, a break, and to take a bath.
