Entry the One
I was up too late last night and now am up too early this morning after checking my office Blackberry (yes, you read that correctly) and seeing a delightful entry from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lady_songsmith She wrote that she had some thoughts on this Thing I am working on/have been working on, and would I be interested in starting a conversation? So I naturally came downstairs, fired up the laptop and now say yes! yes! yes!
I am an egotistical sot, I suppose. But I adore talking about stuff and my brain hurts in the best of possible ways after some NFFR conversations about Difficult Themes and then diving (again) into the work ofbethemoon and bedlamsbard
So,lady_songsmith bring it on.
Also, update of sorts, I was sorta, kinda, maybe hoping to get another in for this short month of February. I could probably pull out (maybe) the first part of chapter 17 that is actually all back in England and in Oxforshire, mostly the OCs, with Digory and Polly, on the night Peter left. I was in the car yesterday, alone (important qualifier that) , driving to an event and had a long conversation with myself about it and I've decided I'm really angry with Richard Russell. I'm also wrestling a bit with Asim, trying to decide just how convoluted to make the scene where he pieces some of the story together - how many characters, how much to stuff in, etc. My realization is that despite the title, this chapter is really about how at this point in time the boundaries between Spare Oom and Narnia are really, really porous. In the story, this is the day Peter hares off to Oxford and Aslan began the morning reaching into this world and pulling Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace into Narnia and then pushing them back. When I get back to Washington and Susan, Narnia is very much on her mind as well.
Also, I really wanted to do Valentine's short -- Briony and Lambert with their puppies, Mrs. Beaver telling Mr. Beaver that Jezebel is up to no good, and Richard and Polly in New York buying a copy of the Karma Sutra and Richard whinging about how he doesn't really want to marry Mary, as well as something about Harold and Morgan in the Lone Islands walking along a dock and being awkward. Obviously didn't happen, but I'm thinking about it. Maybe Next Year. Or for a summer holiday.
Err, yeah. back to bed.
