tricksy mumsy

I didn’t really plan to write today, but Mom tricked me into it. Or something. I still don’t know how I’m going to approach writing this week. I guess I’ll see how it pans out. *snickers* There was just an ad on TV talking about “Ireland’s fabulously wealthy”.

That’s not necessarily unusual for this stage: I’m about halfway through and I tend to lose confidence around here. So, in an attempt to shore up my confidence, I went and re-read the synopsis, which I’d been kind of deliberately ignoring because we’d changed a bunch of stuff around and the synopsis didn’t really reflect certainly the way the book ends anymore, at least. Unfortunately, what it does reflect is…
