The only thing better than one slow day…
…is a second slow day in a row. The memory of the nasty network issue is fading. My job is a whole lot more fun when the infrastructure functions properly.
On the writing front, the big character revision continues, and the synopsis is just about right.
Random thought: I believe 2006 is the year of The 88. Not only is their music on the soundtrack of a half dozen movies, they wrote the theme song for a new television show following American Idol. I find their story intriguing because the band broke out late in the game for pop music. If moguls ruled as in past years, the 88 would not have happened at all. Yet somehow, their music rose above the scene. And that’s a good thing.
Better news
After a few sleepless nights, I grabbed the Gremlin rifling through the school network by the neck. A relatively tiny issue converged on a very important piece of the infrastructure in the worst way and made the last week, well, awful. I beat the Gremlin ( along with a consultant — thank you, Jaysen ) into submission. Network Admin 1, Gremlin 0. I had you at hello, Gremlin. At hello.
Since the culling, I’ve had energy for writing and in the past day began reworking one of the characters. Because the character appears in nine of sixty-three chapters, this task is the largest and most involved of edits. I’ve shirked the job long enough. Once clearing the hump, it’s mostly matters of grammar and fine-tuning. If today is any indication, a finish date of mid-March is quite feasible. Then I’ll read it start to end twice, adjust what seems off-kilter and hand the manuscript over to Team Eagle Eye. Whatever they miss — I doubt it will be much — I live with.
Tonight I revise the synopsis, a tight 2.5 pages that captures the key points of the novel.
Who the man?
Got nothing on this cat.
