I’m doing this from my phone. It’s one of the rare occasions when I’ve gotten to bed and realized I need to blog. I suppose there is a legitimate reason for it. I didn’t write today. No bloganovella, as you can see, and no novel work. I took a day to recharge. I probably need two or three but that isn’t happening.
instead I focused on grading work and listening to my audiobook and hanging with the family… mostly I did the latter. It was a good Sunday for it and I find it time well spent. Tomorrow I’ll be back to the grind of writing and exploring story and developing the characters to breathe life into the scenario. It is ultimately about the characters, and I have avoided really diving into the ones of this new novel as I script out the facts of what is real and project that forward into fiction. Still, I should’ve started with the people. I have a few but not enough. Heck the last three chapters had no people with names… it’ll be several more rewrites before this one is able to breathe.
I am still looking forward to going back to fantasy after this. I have a story to tell there as well but I am not quite ready to tell it.
Some Thoughts:
- Giants may be about to get a lot better. I’ve been reading articles about different aspects of the offense and it is clear that they intend to use new WR Toney in the stick routes. This means that Engram can do what he does best—stretch the field. It dynamically changes how the offense works. I’m hopeful that they’ll get it right.
