I have my table back. I have my peppermint mocha at my side, and Pandora in my ears. Outside, six inches of snow covers the car park and it's still falling. It's the softest, most beautiful snow I've ever seen. My desk is set up and my routine has been returned to me. The post-it notes taped to my notebook read, Just GET IT DONE and No BackTracking NO EXCUSES. I have been here for half an hour and have done five hundred words. We're here for eight and a half more hours. Life is incredibly good.
I have resolved to NaNo-blast my third draft and just Get It Done before moving onto my present-tense version. Afterall, I cannot fix what hasn't been written yet, as tempting as it is to try! As I said, I want it done by mid-March so I can break for April Camp and get some space before coming back to it.
I've settled (I think) on my April project, and have started making notes. It's very exciting! And I think it'll be a good story to have drafted for when I come back to 'Moon Path', lots of world-building and back-story etc. All things I know, but it'll be good to have them laid out on paper. And give some humanity to my baddies! Something they are both sorely missing as it stands.
