Oooh!
trepkos sent me a handful of music CDs. Whoohooo. Thank you so much dear! I only had time to listen to the first as I was out for the second half of the day, but I really enjoyed the compilation!!! *hug*
Would you believe that I actually miscalculated the words I have to write every day? I thought I have to write 1400 per day, but it's actually 1700. Which means I'm woefully behind. But I made progress. I read sections out to hubby and he laughed out loud. My two heroes so don't like each other. Heeheee. They are students in a medieval fantasy setting, and their teacher is planning on sending them on a long trip together. They find the prospect horrifying.
The real problem I'm currently facing is a structural one. I open with a long conversation about a murder that took place twenty years before the story is set. I feel like I should dig deeply into the special effects budget and dazzle the reader with action, but if I look at my favorite mystery novel I realize that the first real life-threatening action scene appears in chapter 3, so maybe I don't have to light the fireworks fuse just yet...
Right, if I don't get any sleep now, I'll come to regret it. Nite nite.
