The Cottage of Blog Putting together office furniture. Not for the faint of heart. And about villains
The Cottage of Blog
Good morning from The Cottage of Blog, where the coffee is fresh and the muffins are blueberry. I think I shall make that an ongoing thread in all my novels. My H/H must like blueberry muffins.
My firsts draft is coming. I'll have to do a word count. As I had three complete chapters done (well, first draft done) before I started my daily writing "assignments" and each daily writing assignment was about 500 words, give or take, and I'm 9 days into the assignment--maybe you can do the math better than I. Each chapters was about 15-20 pages.
Today we finish putting together my computer desk/hutch. Warning! This is not for the faint of heart. And, if I ever have to buy another piece of furniture that needs to be assembled, I shal do without. I swear that. To paraphrase the words of the immortal Scarlett O'Hara "I shall NEVER put furniture together again." (or something like that)
This morning, we're spending time in the police station with the hero. They were together in chapters 1, 2 and 3. 4 was the villain's chapter 5 was H/H then hero/then villain. Chapter 6 will break them up a bit. First part him, then her and his mother.
I'm trying to give the villain his fair share of stage time. This is a romantic suspense, but I want the suspense to build up in the villains eyes--allowing the reader in to what's coming up for the H/H. Also to try and make the villain more understandable. I don't think I've done that in any other story. I think this might be the result of working on the Marshall character sheets. I've given the villain his own particular brand of "ethical insanity" It might not give you sympathy for him, but it might make you understand him a bit more. (or not)
Time to get to work. It's five to eight.
Cheers
Pat
