This morning I worked through the details of how the hero saved the day and the consequences thereof. Which left me with all the tons of stuff that needs to be foreshadowed, which is what I've been waiting for. Because how can I know what scenes I need to write before I know what scenes need to be foreshadowed. So, tons of work, but now I have a direction.
Good news/bad news, this also led me to yet another book, as one of the side characters suddenly became much more interesting. *sigh* Just what I need.
Also good news/bad news, in the last week I've gotten direction on several other major projects... my "I hate computers" project has finally turned itself around, plus several others. Which in a way is good, as I like having specific things to do and goals to work towards... except that I didn't need them to all come to fruition in the same week!!
On top of that, my father called yesterday and asked a huge favor, which he rarely does. So, since he's a great father, plus the fact that he's been my sole financial support for the last six months... I wasn't about to turn him down. But it means that I'm gone from Tuesday of this week through Saturday. So all my plans to get to work on all these projects this week, which I had free before my contract job starts back up, just got all shot to hell.
Oh well, if nothing else, life remains interesting. And now I'm off to take #1-son back to school for his last semester of college before he graduates... scary thought.
