sunshowerdandelionI've been putting out words but ones without beauty.The rhythm is missing. Del is a pretty rhythmic storyteller I think, and what I'm putting out are very jagged words, very bad-feeling words, words that don't fit. I'm massively angry with myself. I'm usually rather good at this. But now it's stutter-step after stutter-step, and very few words out in hours, and those words flinty enough to hurt. I'm going to push and push and push for her, though. I have to. I have no choice. I'll keep writing until I'm absolutely exhausted and keep battering myself against these words.
Charles Arrowby is such a cad. I've just finished Hotel du Lac and that was wonderful, but the prospect of returning to The Sea, The Sea exclusively makes me cringe a little. I'll have to read another book to go with it, something very womanish, maybe Alias Grace again. Or Cat's Eye. I'm thinking the former because the latter is very jagged also and I have enough jaggedness at the moment thank you.
