Had a nice breakfast, got a couple of items from Gelson's and then came home.

Page five? Really?

Once home, I began futzing and finessing, which really took a long time to get things where they needed to be. As I got to the last two pages I'd written I wasn't happy with the a timeline again. So, I had to completely rethink everything involving a character I was introducing. I tried three different timeline adjustments but in researching them for the details I needed, realized they, too, weren't going to work. That wasted a lot of time - the research part.

Better to have realized the problem early, though, isn't it?

Then it finally hit me how to do it, and that actually made everything work. But it took more research. But I got it done and ended a chapter and began another. So, basically, if I can get five or eight pages done before I leave, then I can probably do more when I get home. For now, Muse Margaret will be getting 110 pages.

One of the other things that occasionally slows me down is that when I start up on a new character, I get very involved with the personality of the character and the way they speak and so there was that, too.

Back to work.

I’ve started to take down the Christmas decorations.

John G. · « **Reply #128 on:** January 07, 2025, 06:08:55 PM »

It will take time.

John G. · « **Reply #129 on:** January 07, 2025, 06:09:39 PM »

Because I am now taking a break to watch The Fabulous Baron Munchausen.

So different from Terry Gilliam’s version, which I also love.

John G. · « **Reply #131 on:** January 07, 2025, 06:12:26 PM »

But the animation heavily influenced Gilliam’s work for Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

Paying property taxes. Yuck.

Both of my sisters received a lot of snow, but they still have power and are okay.

Annaliese does have a slight cold.

Power is good.

A ginormous eagle-type bird has just made off with the Baron and dropped him into the sea, where he’s riding around with the fishes.

We just received a call from Keith's cousin letting us know her brother is on his way home. Not surprisingly there is lots of traffic so it is taking a long time.

I'll bet.

John G. · « **Reply #140 on:** January 07, 2025, 06:34:17 PM »

One to grow on.

Glad friends and loved ones are safe thus far.

It's nothing to mess about with.

In my opinion.

I just read that Craig will not be returning to work tomorrow. I wonder if the Baltimore schools will also be closed.

Jane · « **Reply #147 on:** January 07, 2025, 06:36:33 PM »

Thinking of you DR Iris.
