Sequel to SALTARAE

I got just over a thousand words into the book today; I also slotted some more events into the ‘outline’. The scare quotes are because I am not really allowed to create a firm outline. For me, that just leads to whole chapters of stuff that is not organically connected to the whole. Chapters that have to be deleted, or at least moved to another document, where they can serve as examples. OR where I can mine them for clever turns of phrase.

I also continued the revision of MEDUSA. For an hour or so I fiddled with the phrasing here and there, or deleted redundancies. I think the final real change will come when I really get into Eleni’s mind and emotions during a crucial stretch near the end: a fight here, a battle there, and then the duel with Dragutin. That’s kind of the point of the book, emotionally; I need to spend a couple days digging that up and dissecting it. That’s gonna be hard. Might have to lock the studio door for a day.

Oh well. Gotta go. See ya.
