Getting into the mindset

I'm still struggling to get under the skin of my villain/baddie/shadow. I know what happens to him and that's colouring my writing. He doesn't know he comes to a sticky end. He thinks he's going to win so I've got to write it like that. Tough call.

Distractions

It's all too easy to find other things to do. The discipline is to make time and at least do some each day. I'm finding it tough though, very tough.

Routine

It's one thing having a routine and another sticking to it. This takes time, so the run, breakfast and sitting down in front of the laptop is back and working.

Guilty

What with one thing and another the blog has suffered. I won't go into details, but being on the road was one excuse. Coming back and still not doing it was inexcusable. So I'm here for penance.

Horse folk

Badminton Horse Trials is my chance to indulge in people. Just a circuit of the shopping village on cross country day is more than I need to find characters a plenty.

Changing heads

I'm having difficulty swapping heads. With three points of view I've been running through each to check for continuity. But swapping to the baddie is proving tough!

Intermittent

My intermittent internet is driving me crazy. When I need to check how long it takes to drive from Surrey to St Just, Cornwall I need to know THEN! Swearing at it doesn't help, waiting patiently to sort itself out does. Argggh!
