At last I've broken the 70000 word barrier! I know, in the grand scheme of writing, that it isn't the word count that matters but the story but, let's face it, the word count counts!
Apologies if that sentence makes no sense - in my Lemsip-ed up brain, it does. The show was an absolute roaring success but now I'm suffering the inevitable post-show cold. I always get run-down in the run-up to a show but I managed to stave this cold off until after the final show. We've had nothing but positive comments about LAMS first production and I can't wait to see the DVD we made for "training purposes".
It was nice to get back into the writing today though. Shows are good fun, but they don't happen more than two or three times a year (cabarets are a bit different - not so much hard work.)Writing is for life:stick that on a bumper sticker why don't you?! (Note to self: if you're coming out with comments like that, go back into your MS once you've got rid of the cold and read it carefully for any stupid remarks that may have made their way into it!). Actually, I'm quite pleased with how things have progressed today. Not only have I bumped the word count up by nearly 2000, but I've introduced a bit more depth to Dr Alex Stevens (and remembered to go back into earlier chapters to make the necessary tweaks too!) and I can see my way just about clear to the Esme/Rosanna scene. Alex just needs to get half an hour's kip; Rosanna needs to do a bit more internal musing in her office, and Julie needs to grab a large cup of coffee and get all three of them sitting round a table together. Easy......
