LOL WM, I always forget to check in here but your conversation is delightful. Black Prince--That's lovely! Hope you found your stone.
Elsewhere in the accountability section I've been giving updates on my 'write every day' efforts. My mind is ragged atm, too many write-every-days in a row, which are actually rewrites/edits/polishes/revisions (not sure where this second draft falls). So today might be a brain rest day. Or a blog day. Yeah. A blog post. That's easy enough, and a break from the novel, should be done now and then to keep the blog from dying completely.
Hmmm. What else. I'm in a new critique group and am seeing a lot of turnover in the existing ones, with all the meetings now on zoom. This new one is a good fit for me. The old ones are still good as well, but this new one is exactly right for what I need at this point in this draft.
I love outlines, WM, though yeah, they're not much fun. I don't really find any part of this endeavor fun, from outline to publish, but I do find it satisfying to 'build' something I'm proud of.
