Damned meetings...
Sep. 12th, 2024 11:15 pmHad a church meeting tonight that's thrown my whole evening routine out of the window. Still, it was an important meeting about a quite serious event. We have learnings (mostly positive) to apply to the future.
Work-wise, I was expecting a day of head-switching but it was even worse than I anticipated! But I came through the other end. Listening to Green Day helped. The latest album is really reminiscent of their earlier work - but there's honestly nothing of theirs I won't listen to.
Tomorrow, I finish the 'proof of concept' bit of my Nano planning. After that it's all detail - full character sheets and plot outline and scene lists. I'm thinking of sending what I have to my Beta readers and seeing if a) I have an interesting enough idea, and b) what I have so far hangs together logically. It's so easy to get lost in minutiae because you're just too close, and ignore some gaping plot hole. I'm thinking of Yossarian in Catch 22 doing a beautiful job of patching up the wrong wound.
OK, it's very late - time to sleep!
