Ellen Million, who rocks, has scanned a couple of short stories I wrote in college and sent me copies of them, ’cause one, at least, I’m sure I don’t have. That one is a Beauty and the Beast story which, to the best of my own recollection, is a huge rip-off of Robin McKinley’s BEAUTY, except, like, written my way. :) So I’ll be reading both of those stories with fascinated trepidation sometime here soon… Realised this evening that the smart thing to do was take the synopsis for Chance…

thinks to do
I chased Lucy off the table, where she’d crawled sneakily (first the chair, then my lap, then over my arm to the table, and surprisingly, it *was* sneaky: it took me a moment to realise what she’d done!) and so now she’s gone to the other end of the room and is sitting Very Precisely atop the stereo in the deep window and staring accusingly at me. :) This week is far less of a Writing Blitz.

And now it is 6pm, and I have written thirty thousand words this week, and god damn if I…
Day Four: Triumphant!
Today’s early start meant I finished my 5K before 6pm. If I had been a Truly Swell Person, I would’ve charged along and continued to write until 6, but I’m just not that good a person. At all. But I am 4/5ths of the way through my Writing Blitz week, and tomorrow’s 5K will finish the chapter I’m working on, and probably start another, but it takes me through just about all of the set-up. I think my Big Event–the one that in the original synopsis for THE QUEEN’S BASTARD…
