Well, TRF was rejected in double quick time (3 days I think - a record) in the best, impersonal large agent style - no friendly comment, no encouragement. I went through several degrees of misery... then I woke up. Suddenly it was Easter and I had no time to write: I was furious. Today - after my father left c. 3.00pm I went upstairs and wrote and re-wrote and did all sorts of wonderful things which give me great faith.
TRF is now Pride and Prejudice plot: two people love each other - they have "form" and personal characteristics to overcome... but don't worry, they will. Oh dear, it sounds quite boring put like this. But the great thing is that I have spent nearly 6 hours writing today - and I think I have actually cracked it - no more distractions now, straight through until p 419 (not in real pages, just in silly double-spacing) - I seem to have been stuck around p 129 for a long time, but oh the difference (to me!)...
Instead of wanting to go to sleep, I just want to write on - but stertorous grunts indicate a husbandly desire for lights out. I must start writing somewhere else!
