What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Gah, it took forever but I think I'm finally in the villain's head for this scene. I took a break to clean up the beat sheet (actually type up all the handwritten notes I had on it) and to name the background characters. I don't know if I'll actually use the picked out names but they have something to label them with now besides "minion 1." And I need to go back to previous chapters and change some words.
Fave line: Tears had ruined the dhǵhemon's garish make-up and reddened the terrified blue eyes that stared up at him.
What Else I Accomplished Today: The little bit of grocery shopping I'm allowing myself before the car repairs.
What I'm looking forward to: Making myself go to bed early so I can stop operating at a sleep deficit.
What I'm not looking forward to: Monday, the new windshield and I hope nothing happens to run up the cost.
