Renovations

Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. Click the image above for a bigger version.

Renovations continue. The spiral staircase is out, but now there's much patching and hammering and plastering and drywalling, temporarily dampening my normally buoyant enthusiasm for working at home. Jeff has hung plastic sheets everywhere in hopes of containing the dust:



I've wrapped the stairs in garbage bags and painter's tape to protect the carpet. Our house looks like a plague containment centre right now. Either that, or elaborate prep for a mega-foodfight. I keep imagining I taste drywall dust at the back of my throat, and am going a bit nuts from the banging and creaking and shouting and heavy feet tromping on my head (well, it SOUNDS like they're tromping on my head).

I am so looking forward to peace and quiet again. Hopefully next week!

Most of my time right now is focussed on (or attempts to focus on) my novel revision prep, fleshing out character motivations and backstory, addressing issues raised in the editor's letter I mentioned a short while back. I am SO excited about this project....!!
