Another 2,000 + words today - it's all going very smoothly.  I am rather hugging myself because the book within a book thing allows me to make all sorts of references to the autobiographical element in writing... which is an extra strand.    I decided to simply plunge in and write the new material - and the characters are doing all the right things, and being themselves, and unfolding marvellously.  I haven't yet been over it to edit what I've written - so it will all be improved in time.

It is very happy-making.  I felt positively depressed on Tuesday - now I feel quite energised again.
