Building, binding, bonding

The book keeps going. And things are slowly getting glued together. The glue-ing is a very long but fun process.

The wise characters - ie the ones loosely based on Jim, Phil and Lexi - are having their storylines plotted better and more exact so I'm getting a good indication of the exact scenes they appear in, and what should happen in each scene.

In addition, I'm doing a lot of colouring in... By this , I mean going to old scenes I've written and inserting bits in there that tweak it and help the flow of the story.

Out of interest, the book begins with a kiss. As for the ending, after a period of erm lets say intense drama, the final scene is just one of the everyday monologue bits :-)

Anyway, here's some of the random sentences from stuff i added tonight, now that blogspot lets me copy and paste finally lol.
-

I know my journey isn’t really like anyone else’s, but my joy in the journey is just the same.

-

On the way, a flock of sparrows squabbled over a half-eaten sandwich on the edge of a tennis court.

-

And a greyish rectangular face, both pointed and poignant in appearance.

-

Across the pavement, a squashed ice cream proved exciting for a little black and white dog.

-

Its now at the stage of year where it's feeling cold even though it ought not to be. Or maybe that’s just because it mirrors how I’m feeling.

That must be like the coolest thing that’s ever happened to that blackbird.
