The one historical novel that I started but just couldn't get into was Wolf Hall. Never did finish it. I know others loved it, but ...

Starting to watch a historical movie, The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings. Rollicking fun.

I didn't love it but did finish it, but the writing style was so weird it was really a chore wading through to get to the underlying story

I believe I've done the eleven pages, and, of course, that doesn't take into account all the stuff I added or rewrote today.  But in about forty-five minutes I'll shower, hopefully get inspired and write another couple of pages.  But I'm half a page into the final chapter - it will be a long one so I have minimally three days of writing on this chapter.

Took the hot shower, then wrote an additional two pages - I've done twelve and I'm on the thirteenth.  I'm taking a tiny break and then I'll try to finish thirteen and get onto fourteen, and that's fine for today.

Finished almost fourteen pages.  Some good stuff, I think.  As always with a new chapter, it took me a bit of time to get in the swing of it, so I rewrote the first page several times until I felt the rhythm was right.  I suspect in about thirty pages from now I'll be done, but we'll see how it all unfolds.  There's a few things to cover still, and then the final ten pages is all laid out and I just have to do it justice.

The patient before me went out on a stretcher with several paramedics hovering around him.

Everyone seemed a little rattled, except for my doctor.

So, since he wasn't rattled, I wasn't rattled either.
