I did nothing last night.
Nothing constructive in terms of my writing anyway. I did an edit for one friend, failed to do the crit for the other (sorry Dude! Tonight, I promise!) and mucked about with word counts, excel spreadsheets, forums and LJ. Mainly LJ.
To Regain Heaven now stands at 59,209 words. I'm about half way through Chapter 16, but I mucked about with 15 a bit more as well over the weekend. I've added 10,466 words. This leaves 10,791 to go. Just about half way there in total then. Unfortunately, I've only 4 and a half Chapters left. *sigh*
I have a feeling I will be going through this again soon. As a paranormal romance it doesn't have to enormous, and it is probably better if it is not, but it would be nice to at least make 70k with it. One day.
On the plus side, I did some work on my urban fantasy, Moy Tura Echoes, and wrote another 6 or so pages in bed (longhand, so no word count) in which bad things happen to good people. Seems to be the theme of this novel. Maeve's back. She's very busy at the moment.
I'll ask you this though, if a group of immortals wanted to live in a city and interact with the citizens it would be handy if most people couldn't see them as they actually appeared, wouldn't it? Portraits, photos etc, would look like someone else so they wouldn't actually leave a trace in history. It isn't conscious on their part. It's more of the human "can't stare too long at the sun" thing again. That would work, wouldn't it? Huh?
Someone give me some confirmation that I am not going bonkers!
See, I'm also thinking that they could take part in historical events without being remembered - people who act as aspects of different god figures - war leaders, peace makers, muses etc.
Hmmm....
God this novel does my head in.
I have to crit tonight and then do more editing. Mulling over the plot intricacies for Moy Tura will happen whether I like it or not.
The library is fine. Sends its love. I have a big pile of books waiting for cataloguing, so better go.
