I only wrote a five hundred words more, mainly because I was riveted by this Terence Davies movie, which I had put on in the background. I'm good at zoning out crap and just like to have some sound sometimes thats not music. But I had no right to zone this out. It was bloody good.
It has made me feel slightly ashamed of the shallow characterization in my "novel." But at the same time aware that (a) not everything has to be a kitchen-sink drama and (b) I can come back to it. I just need to keep writing! And stop updating my LJ maybe.
