I speak of the immense lassitude that has surrounded me for the last fortnight. Admittedly I have been ill, and adjusting to different conditions (having a student to teach and going to Relate), but the lack of productivity is very unimpressive.
What I intended to do was get on with re-writing The Ash Grove, sorely neglected for some time, after a promising start to the re-write. Instead I have done a bit of extra editing on TMoF, this is partly because a friend has asked to read it in installments and I started "just checking" that there were no terrible betises, and as a result have been doing a lot of editing. But I only have about 6 pages to go, so that need not detain me. I then await G's verdict on it, which may mean more re-jigging - pushing TAG away into February/March...Part of me is itching to get going with the next project, but I think I'll let it wait a bit longer, I need to re-read the original book at least once before I try anything. I still haven't thought of a job for my main character, since her 19thC job doesn't seem to have a modern equivalent... a sort of specialised embroidered but can't think if that would be valid in 1950s London? More thought (and work) required.
