I lack half of one scene and the tail end of another to complete a chapter of TLT &#8212; I spent all my energy on a grocery trip on Saturday, but put down 1670 words on Sunday, which I call satisfactory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. My chromebook charger finally bit the dust last night, so I ordered a replacement and will have to make do with ye olde work computer until tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. A fellow community member said that thanks to C.&#8217;s rec she picked up <em>Ryswyck<\/em> and wound up reading it all in one sitting! &#8212; thereby confirming further that once a reader gets to a certain early point in the characters&#8217; trajectory, the momentum takes care of itself. Gratifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. I have named some characters from the diplomatic delegation of the Southern Consortium and made a start building up the part of the world where they enter. This also involves building up some of the world of Berenia, but that is less complicated: just think of the world&#8217;s most disadvantageous game of Settlers of Catan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things to be done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>I have promised myself to make no promises to keep up the habit of taking morning shots.<\/li><li>Keep going, of course. What else?<\/li><li>One of these days I will need to get a more comprehensive laptop, but I&#8217;m allergic to spending large sums of money, so I expect it to be a while before I actually do any such thing.<\/li><li>I really need to find someone with a good signal-boost radius willing to read and rec <em>Ryswyck<\/em> far and wide. Like, how do you ask someone to do this??<\/li><li>What I&#8217;d really like is to have a conversation with someone who actually knows at least one region of Africa well and can speculate on the nuances of a secondary-world Global South empire. Quite apart from authorial primary research, it&#8217;d be an interesting conversation! Must gird myself to forage on Twitter, I suppose.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s the state of the state. Now back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is very cold and a very fine snow is misting down, and that is just as it should be. Some notes from the home front: While my tea is steeping, I&#8217;ve taken to picking up the camera and practicing shots on whatever I find marginally interesting in my flat.
