handful_ofdustLooking over my unfinished stuff, I've decided to try and pump out one in particular--"The Corpse-Door"--for "#Novellaween" on Twitter, which essentially means that I have to go from 7,377 words to 25,000 or over by the end of the month. I think that should be doable. I know I'd gotten stuck on this one, but can't figure out where, or why. It might have just had something to do with trying to mimic the linguistic rhythm of a Norse saga. Still, going back over my research notes, I think I can easily juggle stuff to create a story that's a bit more streamlined, active and creepy. I just need to get back into the pattern of writing 500 to 2,000 words a day again. Maybe get up earlier, go out. I know I've said the before, but it's far more likely now that Cal is actually out of the apartment from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
According to The Daily (the New York Times's news podcast), all masks now need to have filters. This might be harder to get Cal to cooperate with...or maybe not. At least I know I have a box of them my Mom gave me that we can surf on for a bit. (There's also apparently an antiviral pill pending approval which cuts death/hospitalization rates in half when given to early-diagnosed COVID patients. It's named after Mjolnir, which is appropriate, and hilarious.)
Meanwhile, the doodling continues apace. I also need to track down more information for my agent in order to process my payments on [that secret project]. Said agent emailed to ask me how it was going, which might just as well mean "have you heard back from [boss]? Do you know your schedule going forward?" No and no, on both counts.
