A Steady Week


It’s been a good week for writing: work done steadily every day, though sometimes not as many hours as I would have wished. However, next week I will have a 2-day writing retreat as I go to out-of-town meetings with Don (he has the meetings, not me, so I am free to write!) and the week after that I go to two, back-to-back retreats for a total of 8 writing days. Yay!

Very much enjoying Scrivner


I finished the tutorial, uploaded my work and have been editing my series–everything seems to work very smoothly. I am very pleased with Scrivner. And, today, recognizing that my teenage heroine needs to be put a bit more in jeopardy, I killed off her protector in Chapter 2. It will mean quite a few edits through the rest of the book, but I think it is the right thing to do. And I had the perfect spot for it: instead of surviving the monster attack as the guardian had done before, she’s killed. Shows how dangerous those monsters are!
