What are you doing, Mommy?

Writing my book.

What chapter are you on?

Mm, eight, I think.

*reading over my shoulder* Something brushed against…. a house!

No, not a house.

*rustles paper* What’s this?

It’s a map of my city. PLEASE don’t lose it.

What’s this? And that? And, oh, this says “shops!”

It’s a road called King’s Way. PLEASE be careful.

What’s your books about, Mommy? Is it about six hundred marchers, marching across the sea??

No, it is most definitely NOT about that.

Last night, I spent a long time mentally rearranging  the remaining scenes in Part One. Today I noticed a set of scene cards I’d tucked into my revision folder the last time I’d worked on SoR (many moons ago). When I flipped through them, I found that I had already done the work of arranging scenes for maximum benefit back then. Doh! This is one reason why I shouldn’t wait so long between iterations!

On the plus side, my handy dandy index cards tell me I have only seven more scenes to go for Part One. Left Brain likes marking progress by scenes so much better than by by page numbers.
