Lots of words today, but not ones I'm very pleased about. A couple of sections are cliche-ridden and boring and I knew this as I typed them, but the idea was to get the episode down, to work through the plot of it - the confrontation, the explanation, the threat, the frightening bits ... and I was surprised that even out of this quite uncomfortable way of writing, a new development made itself known, so that I have this poor girl who may or may not have been murdered, who disappears but it isn't clear who, if anyone, might have caused it to happen. Was it murder or misfortune? I don't know yet ...
But what I do know is that I can go back and tighten, improve the words later, provide I don't sicken myself of the characters first.
At least you were getting things written down. I'm afraid that far too many of my ideas stay swimming around in my head. What I'd like to know, Sandra, is do you feel differently one year on?
