sunshowerdandelionI think I've done the (for me) excruciating work of editing with a bit more success today. I tried things and tried to switch things around. Not a lot got changed, except my reading, switching for a while The Forrests with Monkey Grip by Helen Garner, because there's more romance in the latter and I sort of want romance, currently.
Tomorrow is a long today. Today was only moderately long, though full of tasks and buffeting. I want to read! I want to sit down and read without interruption, though that's a thin wish I know, a little impossible I know.
But I think Monkey Grip and the sketch-like approach Helen Garner takes in describing him, his hardness, sudden softnesses, is fascinating, and something I will crib for my own AU. My own AU, of course, is creaky at the moment, and I am dreading more edits tomorrow. But it must be done.
At least today I found the tying thing besides anxiety: leaping, risks. Reisen is on a tightrope (so she thinks) over a ravine, and she's still stepping forward.
