no na no ~

just me blithering here ~ i keep saying i am not NaNoing, and yet i filled out my profile over there and i am writing (a wee over 4k this morn), so i am not sure how long this denial will continue. i picked as the subject, what ought to be a novella called After Shiloh, which is one of those stories that's not really critical in the scheme of all things (or maybe it is, who knows anymore), but i thought it would be interesting to tell. i also think it will give me an opportunity to explores certain aspects of James's personality that i tend to forget about ~ particularly regarding his post-operative mood swings.

there's also a ton of detail work i have never really figgered out on this one, like what's James doing at Shiloh in the first place? dunno if i can answer that, but this exercise will give me a chance to explore.
