Good morning from the Cottage of Blog.
Has anyone ever put together an office desk/hutch? I'm about to find out how it's done. My friend is coming on Saturday and will help / No, I will help, put it together. Meanwhile, I have pieces all over the place. I still have to move everything out of the kitchen so we can have room to assemble. It's a beautiful piece. Sturdier than most. Better made. I bought it at Office Max. One thing it has going for itself, the hutch is full of book shelves--good size ones that will hold note books for character sketches. Neat. I've been looking for this precise desk for 2 years now.
My new WIP is coming. I'm writing 500 words a day on it. The only problem with that is that it's kind of scattered in my mind. When I was writing in chapters, usually 3 scenes of 2 scenes and several sections I could see more clearly where it was going. I have it in my MIND where it's going, but I'm afraid the start and stopping will make the scenes ragged. But, whose fault is that? There's nothing stopping me from writing the whole scene and then breaking into assignment words.
One thing I'm finding (surprise, surprise) my characters are changing.
I'm finding my hero a cross between Mr. Darcy and Mr. Wikham of Pride and Prejudice (now my favorite book and favorite A&E special presentation) I love those characters. He (hero) is not really tempermentally suited to be a Mr. Wikham. But that is his challenge, is it not? That is his growth. That is the job of the heroine to bring out his best. Hummm. You go for it, my sweet (strong willed, dependent on the kindness of others--wait a minute, that's another novel) heroine. And no, she's not a milk toasted wust. H and H are indeed a match. Or at least, so the author hopes.
Getting up at 6 in the morning wasn't working real well, so I put my alarm back and compromised. I set it back to 5 and snoozed until 5:30. I at least have a chance to read my emails and blog before getting ready and going off to work.
Which is where I'm off to at the moment. I no longer have a lap top. The computer guru at school declared my hard drive dead. No longer to be ressurected. The reformatting not taking hold. It deserves a proper burial. Hopefully, I will get a computer for my room. Unfortunately, it will not be a laptop. I'm wondering if I should invest in one.
I have a Dana. I could use that fro strict writing. Maybe I should see what that machine can actually do. I can set it up for internet access. Even wireless. (which I don't have at the moment)
Take care all. Have a good day.
Pat
