Gee, nobody commented to tell me how gorgeous Cillian is. What a surprise.
Anyway it is Friday night and I am determined to get to 6000 words tonight. With the help of some downloaded Andy Gibb music I have progressed from 4025 words to 5003. (The Gibb brothers are great motivators. Something about those infectious tunes and falsetto voices.) This has taken me two hours. I’m not sure why this book is moving forward slowly. It is probably one of two things: either I have the conflict slightly wrong for the main characters, or I am spending too much damn time on introspection.
It is probably the latter. Jo and Bruno first set eyes on each other on page 11. So far I’m on page 22 and they have said exactly a dozen words to each other. I think I need to get them talking. However, they’re not going to talk until they’re alone, and I’ve put them right smack dab in the middle of one of London’s biggest tourist attractions.
Right. Back to Andy Gibb and working.
Maybe they need to do some jive talking…
(ducks and runs…)
5375.
I think they should be dancing.
