Apr. 4th, 2013 06:57 pmProject: Royalty novel
Market: Whoever wants it
Deadline: None
New words written: 692 today, plus about 1k over the past few days.
Mean things: Parental conflict, plus
Fun things: Boats! Also babies.
Research: Vaguely-royal birth announcements, and some stuff about sailing clubs (but that's the tip of the iceberg).
I've got a rough bit of Jack and his mum and dad done. It's really awkward and stilted. I also wrote some articles and stuff - I think it might be an easy concise way to sum up a lot of action (since this thing is SO FREAKING LONG). Bertie's cousin and his wife just had a baby, so I did that, plus a very short scene with Bertie talking to Alistair about it. It cheered him up from the Commonwealth drama. He likes babies, apparently. He's good with his other cousin's kids. I think they'll be sending him to lots of schools when they first get him doing engagements.
Oh, and Jack wants to own a sail boat. I blame Patrick O'Brian entirely. He's even found one that he says must be his, it's tiny and he loves it and he would have been able to save up as a teenager to buy it. And he's named it the Sophie.
