Today has been a fine cat-explodey kind of day on the writing front. I got about 5600 words written, nearly two chapters worth, and I’m just under 45K on the book. Charging merrily along, we are.
It never fails to astound me how much writing is about synchronicity. I’d just ripped out some of COYOTE DREAMS, and was trying to put thoughts together on how to go forward when I got an email from my agent with some comments about the proposal for the book. One of her comments gelled everything I needed with what I’d been thinking about, and voila, I have trundled on forward and am incorporating her comments to my satisfaction. (She was right, the thing she commented on really needed to be addressed, and I knew it before she mentioned it, but her bringing it up just then happened to be when and where I needed to have a nudge.) This happens regularly for me with writing, and I said to Ted, “What would I do if these things didn’t happen?” He, placidly, said, “You’d come up with something else that worked,” which made me laugh. :)
