Crusade For Vengeance
I had a good afternoon in London on Friday. I met up with some old friends in a pub by Covent Garden. There was good beer and good conversation. I like going into London, I worked there for eight years and there are some parts I know well. I get the train into Euston station and then it's a pleasant walk down to Covent Garden. On previous trips I've arrived earlier and gone to the British Library and the British Museum, both are nearby. I actually walk past the British Museum.
Today was a good day. Another 5,000 good words written and as it happens, that finishes off the additional section I've been writing. It came in at a total of 21,000 words and, if it's all included, will bring the total of the book to 148,500. A much more respectable number.
I need to make some amendments to integrate it into the story but nothing too bad. I just finished one of those and I think I only need to do one more.
Something I have noticed is that my spelling has improved. It's no way near perfect, but I'm getting a lot more words correct than I used to. Now if only I could get my grammar and punctuation up to the same level. Word doesn't really cover punctuation very well.
I do have a second addition in mind for the book. I've been thinking about it and I'm not so sure anymore. If I do it, it moves a major character out of position and a whole stack of cards comes crashing down. Fixing a weak point could have far bigger ramifications. I'm really not sure. Hmm, I just had an idea of another way to write it or more accurately, one of the suggested amendments might make more sense now. Something to consider overnight.
Well it's been a ten and a half hour day’s work and my dinner is almost ready. Time to call it a day.
