Long day

[ksmith]

All day meeting today, consisting of a series of presentations about different projects in my division. It started at 8am--I didn't get to present until 330pm.



It went ok, for which I was glad. It took a week, off and on, to pull the thing together, give my boss a chance to look it over, then make suggested changes. I was sort of stressing over it.
Now it's over until next quarter. Yea!

After an early thaw and the resulting Mud, the temps have fallen back to seasonal levels. This means the ground has refrozen, which in turn means that I can walk in my backyard again without feeling like I'm going to get sucked down into Grimpen Mire. Always a good thing.

As for Endgame, plugging away. Worked out some of the complicated political stuff, as well as some of the relationship stuff. The first big Event will be happening within a couple of chapters, which means it's time to work out the build-up.

Let's hear it for build-up!

Oh, if you're interested, karentraviss is taking posted questions for John Jarrold, an editor-turned-agent. Good, feet-on-the-ground info, the broadcasting of which I hope she doesn't mind.

Actually, part of my build-up problem now is deciding whether it's better if the reader doesn't know what's coming, or if they do. I'm inclined toward the latter, being a fan of Hitchcock.
