the work, it is in progress
Sep. 5th, 2022 12:13 pm7600 words in, one scene left to go, and I've finally figured out how this story needs to end, and how the ending will tie together two disparate threads and make the whole thing (hopefully) cohere. Well, the ending plus a lot of revision to the earlier sections now that I know what I want to do.
I guess the lesson I've been learning, with this story and the last one is: just keep writing. Eventually things will start to make sense.
In other news, this is the last day of my 4-day weekend, which has lasted just long enough to make me realize how nice it would be not to work 40 hours a week. We should all be able to work less and still afford to live decently. (And, yes, I do realize that I'm in a relatively privileged position compared to many people, in the US and elsewhere, who have to work much more than 40 hours to earn enough money to live.) I have written words, and taken some naps, and cleaned/tidied my apartment into better habitability, and gotten to the point where I feel rested and in control enough that I'm quite interested in going out and doing fun things. And now I have to work tomorrow. *sigh* Pity me.
