Spry, crisp and dry.

Our snow is not deep but crisp and dry for sure - what wee bit we have has frosted over delightfully which makes getting oot and aboot a bit of a bugger but is very lovely to look at if, like me, you work on your arse, tucked up at home.

Writerly work has been done, indeed, after a minor blip of plot-based angst yesterday, it's progressing rather splendidly.

Entanglement is coming on very well. After some garment-rending over the plot, I found that keeping to the gist and just banging out the already-prepped chapters independently of each other is working well. The subtleties of the plot are emerging out of the writing as I'd hoped. I still need to roll up my sleeves and tackle the sequence of events but on the whole, progress is pleasing

With all the extra work I'm ploughing into the novel, progress on epic-fic Blue has been less than sterling but I got the chapter notes out yesterday and 800w done today - it's only a short one so, all being well, I should have the next chapter finished by Sunday as per so, to my utter amazement, I can claim, still on schedule. How unexpected

I'm just taking a short break for tea and crumpets before gently taking my plot to task. I hope I won't be forced to resort to the cricket bat again. Then it's wine, olives, garlic bread, pasta, mushrooms and bread and butter pudding all the way as we run, full-tilt and head down into the soft, yielding belly of the weekend

Oops! Almost forgot to say, it's FRIDAY!!! people! May it shine with glittering, RAINBOW lights my darlings; raising a mug of Earl Grey to you all.

Wheeeee! ::bounces in and leaves snowy puddles all over your LJ::

You have words - all written and everything! Yay! Go you!

And it's Friday! And I'm abusing exclamation points and I don't care, because it's Friday!

I'm pouring the wine, any...second...now. It's almost dark, yes?

Cheers hon - have a great weekend. Don't fall into any drifts...

sigh

What drifts? I see no drifts, alas. Snow here is very thin, glittery and frosty more than snow; it's a clear, blue night, like a Christmas card. I'm waxing here, but it s rather lovely.

I have to have a quick cook and a work out before I can break out the booze but come 6.30 I shall be enjoying a glass of the same in my bath the company of Sandi Toksvig and guests. ::smiles naughtily::

Enjoy your wine and enjoy your snow, my lovely. Sending sparkly, Friday love. XXX
