i spent half the day working on Eleison and half the day working on In Pursuance of Said Conspiracy. I got some fits and farts done for the first and roughly 10,897 words for the second.
p.s. all of the cuts in this post are spoilery (i'm suddenly conscious that people might actually not want to know all the dirty details of what's going to happen).
my brain pretty seriously fried, so i knew i wasn't going to make the 15k mark and actually quit early. i just don't have the stamina of my youth (that, and i just got sorta stymied on stupid little details ~ per usual).
among the scenes i wrote were a sorta shyte-like self-indulgent bit about the Commission booting Comstock and Porter for arguing about the legality of the trial (dunno if this works), a pretty decent opening court day at the end of which Mr. Hanty and Col. McCall have a hilarious exchange that will probably necessarily be cut because it's too ridiculous, and a scene in which Poppet reads the news about Booth catching it in the barn and Chammy attempting suicide.
( notes about that there suicide )
overall i didn't get as much court stuff done, didn't write that scene with Nicolay that i've had in my head forever in a day, and know i shouldn't be disappointed, having written 50 pages yesterday, and yet looking toward this saturday (my looming deadine), and i know that there will be no complete draft in muddville.
that, and this book is ridiculously long (for me ~ it's pushing 300 at this point).
( and therefore the goals for the rest of the week )
anyway, that's my story and i'm sticking to it (for now).
picture of the day: i posted images of the arsenal the other day, well here's greenleaf point today. the federal penitentiary has been gone for a long time, though the site is still a military installation (as evinced by the golf course, obviously).
i believe the yard
where the execution took place
is now a tennis court.
happy thursday all!
