Samhain Thanksgiving Moon
It’s been a raggedy couple of days sleep wise and that throws the rest of my rhythm off. We’re getting ready for Kate’s trip to Denver and my stay at home week with the dogs, too. That always mean chores need to get done with a bit more urgency, so sometimes they take precedence over the main work.
Even so, I got some good work in on Missing this morning and read through a fascinating chart about how Dramatica develops its story aids, how the aids nest one inside the other like Russian dolls. Very complex. It will take a while to learn, but it will add important layers to my novels before I begin writing.
I also translated verses I researched yesterday. Didn’t get any further but I did get them done. These are interesting because Ovid is playing some kind of political game with Augustus, comparing him and his courtiers to Olympus and the council of the gods. I say interesting because the end game is Ovid’s exile from Rome to Tomi in what is present day Romanian Constanta. Which I visited two years ago.
