Another 4,000 words in the last few days - feeling happy. Fortunately most of the jokes in the book are for me alone - I don't think anyone else would understand them, so no one can be offended by them.
The writing is going well - just difficult and challenging enough for me to enjoy - I do have to stop and think - and that's good, I enjoy that. I have cast Alan Rickman as Leo - it's an interesting idea, if one has a physical idea in one's mind one can write towards it.... it allows one to incorporate bits of how one imagines the person might be - or bits of roles one has seen them in. I've never done this before - but it seems to work. It came out of the "Who would play..... in a film of the book..." This does not mean I am anticipating selling the film rights any time soon - but one thinks of all the possibilities... I think getting a contract with an agent would be a step in the right direction. She is evidently still thinking about Conscience - a bit awkward if she's also finding it a bit of a conundrum.
