I had a good afternoon in London on Friday. I met up with some old friends in a pub by
Covent Garden. There was good beer and
good conversation. I like going into
London, I worked there for eight years and there are some parts I know
well. I get the train into Euston
station and then it's a pleasant walk down to Covent Garden. On previous trips I've arrived earlier and
gone to the British Library and the British Museum, both are nearby. I actually walk past the British Museum.
Today was a good day.
Another 5,000 good words written and as it happens, that finishes off
the additional section I've been writing.
It came in at a total of 21,000 words and, if it's all included, will
bring the total of the book to 148,500.
A much more respectable number.
I need to make some amendments to integrate it into the
story but nothing too bad. I just
finished one of those and I think I only need to do one more.
Something I have noticed is that my spelling has improved.
It's no way near perfect, but I'm getting a lot more words correct than I used
to. Now if only I could get my grammar
and punctuation up to the same level.
Word doesn't really cover punctuation very well.
I do have a second addition in mind for the book. I've been thinking about it and I'm not so
sure anymore. If I do it, it moves a
major character out of position and a whole stack of cards comes crashing
down. Fixing a weak point could have far
bigger ramifications. I'm really not
sure. Hmm, I just had an idea of another
way to write it or more accurately, one of the suggested amendments might make
more sense now. Something to consider
overnight.
Well it's been a ten and a half hour day’s work and my
dinner is almost ready. Time to call it
a day.
