FX: A cork is pulled. wine is poured.
Oh, I still have a few (a few! ha!) bits and pieces to work out and a couple of characters to think a little more about but, in general, the plot, the progressions, the characters - living and dead - are sorted, their back-stories, their motives, where/how/when they fit into the whole. Even the science and philosophy - All Done.
I'm going with a first person narrative - still need to decide where I'm going to begin and how I'll deal with the past-narrative, whether to flash-back or go from point A to point B in a more or less straight line.
But - I'm pretty much there and very much relieved abut it because for a long time it didn't look like it was going to happen at all and now here I am, all ready to start writing next week.
To paraphrase the wonder that is Alan Partridge, kiss my happy, smiley face! :D
Right. A nice big glass of South African Cabernet, I think, then dinner. Jonathan Creek! is on later. With Katherine Parkinson!!! (OMG! loves!) I am sooo looking forward to that!
Tis the first day of the New Year my delicious, ripe and fragrant darlings. I hope 2009 is treating you all with loving kindness and gentle consideration. Sending the love XXX

Hey - go you! What a fab start to the new year. ::kisses your happy smiley face::
And I'm all Wheeeee! because it's Jonathon Creek, at a decent time of night, on a channel I can get on the old steam-driven thing, plus I have wine and cake.
::smooches you back with big smacky kisses::
A week in a well with Helen Shapiro!
Ah, ::hunches back:: the book! the book! She's driving me mad! I think I'm there now, though. I'm going to start writing her next week anyway and damn the consequences.
::smooching you in return with bearded beery breath and a cheeky, hopeful smile::
Re: A week in a well with Helen Shapiro!
Ooh, bearded beery breath! My fav!!
How come the book is a she? I love the idea... my grandmother gave everything a sex, whether appropriate or not. All cats were 'she' even when they were irrefutably toms.
Re: How come the book is a she?
OOh, Jonathan Creek! nips off to build a quick g&t.
