Sleeeepy

I overslept this morning and we missed church. I'm going to have a hard time keeping track of days this week.

I made some progress on the story I'm plotting. Freewriting seems to be my secret weapon these days. I'm getting good plot twists. My protagonist was kidnapped as a toddler and raised to be a criminal. She's a skilled grifter, but specializes in safe cracking. My antagonist is her older birth brother, who is an honest (or as honest as they come in 1925) businessman. I'm having fun with that dichotomy. More importantly, I'm working every day. If I can pull it together in time, I'll do it for Nano. Otherwise I probably won't be playing this year. It's looking good, though.

We saw Fury yesterday. It was really good, but kind of intense. It was interesting to see the interaction of the old seasoned crew, who'd been together from West Africa, into France, Belgium, and Germany, with the new guy who'd been in the Army 8 weeks and was trained to be a clerk. I don't know if it was based on a true story, but a WWII vet who'd been on a tank crew said it was an accurate representation. I can't even imagine living that. I felt raw after a two hour movie.

I got together with another writer I met at church to see if we could help each other. I'm not sure but we're going to trade chapters next month and see if it's going to work out. She has a YA novel she's working on with another group, but she's not getting the feedback she needs. I'm planning to check out the group next week.

That's about all of interest going on here. I'm getting stuff together for the signing. I feel like there should be more to say, but there isn't. I guess my brain is taking a sabbath today. Or maybe I've finally hit maximum deceleration. One thing is for sure: I don't need a nap.
