Novel Writing - Day 11

June 11, 2008

I took care of my clipping and organizing yesterday, attaching research notes to the appropriate character sketches and such as planned.

However, I didn’t get a chance to do anything with the extra worksheets from the book. That’s because I try to work on my novel outlining in the evenings, and last night we had one of the nastiest storms I’ve ever seen - lost power for a bit, and waited a few hours before plugging the computer back in (when the power went out the first time, the surge protector didn’t do its job, and my boot sector got screwed up - couldn’t restart the computer - fortunately I was able to get it fixed quickly - whew!).

So I didn’t have as much work time as I’d hoped. Today’s task then will be to see if I can use any of those extra worksheets, and to dig a bit more into a specific topic that will affect one of the characters (a regional dialect I need to familiarize myself with a bit more - so some reading and some listening are on the plate today).
