Did thirteen pages on the new book, and I know that most of it will have to hit the cutting room floor. I don’t’ usually know that so quickly, but I fell down the rabbit hole today, and got distracted from the main plot. I guess I had to get it out of my system, but I know that I have to back up and get rid of it. It reads well, but it just isn’t needed, in fact it damages the plot, gives away too many surprises. Shit.
So, a day’s worth of work, but no progress. I hate that.
Happy fourth of July to everyone. We’re having a cook out with family and friends. This is Pip’s least favorite holiday. He’s phobic of thunder and fireworks. So we’ll spend the evening with our sixty pound puppy shivering in our laps. His phobia is severe enough that I’m not sure we could actually leave him alone on this night. I’m not sure what he might do to relieve the nervous tension without us here. But tonight, we won’t find out. We’ll be home.
Enjoy the celebration. Be safe.
