Murff
Sitting at work, trying desperately to find something to bill the hours for.
Nuts.
Worked more on book last night, which felt good. Chapter two is shaping up nicely on revisit, but I need to smooth the new bits more and be very careful with the psychic distance on my protagonist. It may take sticking notes all over the place to remind me that we get closer to her the closer she feels to whoever else is in the scene and further away as she withdraws.
With luck, I'll get chapter two done (enough) by Sunday. Three is in a good place already. Four is too abrupt and random, but that will come together fine. Honestly, the first act is really pretty solid, though the work will come in reworking eternal chapter six. Even that, though, doesn't daunt me as much as facing act II. *deep breath* One word at a time.
By the way, The Historian is outstanding, and definately worth reading first.
Also, the new icon is courtesy of ironymaiden Industries, part of their wonderful family of products, services, and snark.
