Daily Update: Attack of the Neglected Books

[abracanabra]

I made small strides in making my home office more livable by attacking the moraine of books in front of the bookshelf and sorting them into "keep," "read to see if I actually like," and "sell." Unfortunately, I still have a stack of books that I want to keep, and no extra bookshelf space to hold them. Not to mention having a ridiculously pile of "to read."

I baked carrot cake cupcakes, about which more anon.

I managed the minimum maintenance cleaning.

In the evening, I bussed over to see Beastly for free, thanks to gofobo.com. More on that anon too.

And there was the writing!

Circus of Brass and Bone Writing Log



New words: 1,200
Total words: 57,177
Overused word: Christopher - yes, a character name can feel overused, even if every use is necessary.
Gratuitous food: fir needle soup
Type of scene: Confab!
Challenge(s): Deciding which characters to emphasize. Not sure I chose right. Want to use new characters, but--am I hitting new circus character saturation? Hrm. Grumph.
Which line is it anyways?"He likes people. If he got lost, he'd go to the city. We need to find him soon!" He gulped. "Especially if they're getting hungry in there."
Researched: edible fir trees, hoof trimming knives
Added to spellchecker: policemen's, hmph
Notes: Aaaand--haven't even hit plot-point one yet. Oy.
Other writingy stuff:
* Posted freewriting and writing log.
* Updated CoBB buttons and links, because really, why would you have a lovely header image if it *didn’t* link back to the main page?
