papersky and heres_luck, for offering advice which was both sensible and what I wanted to hear. I love it when those two things coincide.
The Second Son: 650 words
Other work accomplished: read the chapter on Hamlet in Shakespearean Tragedy and Its Double. Can now proceed to get Cartwright into my chapter on Hamlet. Also slept. Mirrorthaw remarked when he came home this evening that I look washed out, so I'm choosing to regard the nap as wise rather than merely self-indulgent.
Verdict: Not too bad.
And you're stopping because? 1. I'm tired. 2. I've never successfully written a mystery, and thus I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. (Speaking of which, the most useless book of writing advice I've ever read was the one put out by the Mystery Writers of America, the title of which I cannot at this moment recall. Much infuriating nonsense about "following the rules" and nothing of any practical value whatsoever.) This seems like a good moment to pause and reflect.
