I did it.
Working like crazy I got a very crude first draft of Jekyll and Hyde.
By which I mean I’ve assigned everything to chapters (some entries will be shifted around to make the lengths right) and taken all my scribbled (okay, typed) notes and turned them into synopses and commentary. Not all of it’s well written and I still have some things to watch (Hulk MCU movies for instance) but I set that as my goal and I pulled it off.
No particular trick to it, just that I prioritized writing and really made myself focus. Go me. This will make it easier to balance time next month between viewing stuff (TV, movies that need rewatching) and rewriting.
That was 90 percent of my writing week. The rest included little stuff (applying to next year’s ConGregate and ConCarolinas cons) and The Local Reporter. One of my articles was on an ongoing Carrboro lawsuit against Duke Energy. Another article dealt with a site offering Chapel Hill High School’s digitized annuals online and the differences between 1925 and 1973. At Atomic Junk Shop I blogged about Jack Kirby’s Hairies, successes and failures in late 1970 Marvel Comics —
— and the moment Superman discovered all kryptonite on Earth was common iron!
In other news Dudley is feeling very lively, enough to think he can run down the stairs. We have so far prevented this. Stitches come out Saturday which will be good (no risk of it getting infected if he rolls or licks it). Several weeks of care after that.
Plus I finally got my iridotomy eye surgery scheduled!
So a pretty good week. And as it’s Halloween, have a closing image:
