Kate goes back to work on Monday, February 1st.\u00a0 Right now I believe she’ll do ok.\u00a0 Her hip injections–cortisone–have helped.\u00a0 Her neck has been fine during this period, but she will have to return to odd angles while looking into young eyes, ears and throats.\u00a0 The computer ergonomics in the office are not ideal for her either.\u00a0 She’s gotten more and more exercise in over the last few weeks and I hope that means that her stamina is sufficient.<\/p>\n
We’ll take it, as they say, a day at a time.<\/p>\n
I wish I didn’t have the Woolly Retreat coming up over the weekend, but she’s not working weekends, at least not right now, so there will only be Thursday and Friday nights when I’m not here.\u00a0 Of course, if she experience difficulty, I’ll give it a miss.<\/p>\n
The novel keeps on coming.\u00a0 In retrospect I think it was the novel that kept me up the other night.\u00a0 Since I write without much of a plan, it’s quite easy for me to write myself into a corner, or to realize that early ideas, some woven into much of what I’ve written, no longer work.\u00a0 Both happened with this one.<\/p>\n
Since I’m nearing what will be the middle of the book in number of words, the arc of the story has to reach a certain dramatic point here and I had to fiddle with a good bit of the already written material to make that possible.\u00a0 Part of the change, inevitable really, involves pruning excess characters, locales and plot lines.\u00a0 When I did this, I reduced the plot lines to three, much easier for a reader to follow.\u00a0 I also created a key\u00a0 plot point that will allow all these plot lines to converge further along, and I hope, diverge again as I set up the second book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
