Woo hoo!
155 pages in Magpie. This makes me happy :) Chianxi is dead, so that scene is out of the way, and now they'll be heading back to the Imperial court. I have yet to figure out how much of the journey I will show onstage rather than imply. And I have to bring my book on Chinese myth to work so that I can insert a re-telling of a fan myth that I plan on using in this section. My subconscious reminded me about the vision Magpie had at the beginning of the novel. Now, mind you, I'm not sure how this will all tie together, but I know it will :) I have to have faith, I've written enough books by now, that eventually I'll find an ending. And a point :P Though I've yet the figure out my theme, per see, that usually comes as I near the end and things become clear.
I read more in my books on Venice and thought over various ways I could write that book. I have a feeling this one will be outlined, at least partially, which tends to happen with my YA books. But the history of Venice is fascinating stuff.
Went out with friends Friday and Saturday night, and saw the movie Down With Love. Which, if you're a Doris Day fan, I think you'd love. Anyone else, I don't think they'd get it. But it's on my list of "to buy" videos, which is a great honor given that I own exactly four (?) movies :) The Princess Bride, South Pacific, My Fair Lady and Beauty and the Beast. Used to own Strictly Ballroom, but when I moved out it kind of became my Dad's :P Why, no, I'm not a couch potato, why do you ask? :P
I taught this afternoon and had six people in my kick-boxing class - yeah! I usually get about four. (It's a very small gym, trust me). I have a meeting with the pastor at 4pm - ugh - which I hope to make it through with some semblance of self-control as I have rehearsals tonight at 7pm. Music rehearsals. Which I'm a little scared of, given how badly my music audition went. Oh, well, at least this way the music director is sure to be pleasantly surprised when he hears me sing ;P And the weather is finally warm and sunny out, which, of course, only happens when I have to be at work, and then driving or inside a theatre all night. Life is not fair :) But at least its unpredictability tends to bring good things, too :)
