Well I haven’t updated all week.
The reason, well the weather is just too damned hot to do much. I’m Irish and living in Ireland. We’re usually lucky to get an actually sunny day let alone a week of consistent sunshine. It’s means that I’ve been melting a lot during the week and it does interrupt sleeping patterns and creativity patterns.
Also work (the thing that pays me so I can pay for electricity and this site) has been quite busy. Its left me completely exhausted (plus the heat in which I can’t sleep) so I can’t really do much other than veg or read a book.
There are other things too. This chapter 5 is about hopelessness and some soul searching by the main male character. It’s incredibly tough to even begin to frame that in my mind, let along write about it when the sunshine is making me cheerful and happy. In fact it’s very tough to even imagine that when I look outside with the flame orb high in the sky.
I’m very tempted to begin sketching out some new and different ideas in my head for scenes towards the end of the novel but I doubt the piecemeal approach will work.
Hopefully it will be overcast and rain in a couple of weeks. That way I can get a lot of my depressing stuff down on a doc file.
