Apr. 9th, 2013 07:55 pmProject: Royalty novel
Market: Whoever wants it
Deadline: None
New words written: 3225 since Friday
Mean things: Parental conflict, paparazzi, only narrowly escaping the destruction of the monarchy as a whole
Fun things: Strategy meetings (fun for Jack, not Bertie), implied celebratory sex.
Research: Chelsea FC home fixtures list, voting procedure in the House of Commons, flats in Fulham, lots of walking up and down using google street view.
I've been bad at this but I'm going to get back into the habit of it. I'm working shifts starting at 7am every weekday now, and though I can usually get a couple of hundred words done at work I crash when I come home. It's slow but it's getting there.
Not to mention the fact that I was still struggling with that week of Commonwealth meetings. Something's not feeling right, I don't know what, and so I've just decided to draw a line under it and move on. I'll fix it later. I keep adding words but not getting too much further on, and it will not do. So.
They have a strategy for how to move on - business as usual for the most part. Bertie and Jack are going to just do what they'd normally do, and try to strike a balance between not hiding their relationship and flaunting it. Jack is going to keep going to Tesco and random shops, they're introducing him to lots of the family and they'll make it clear he's being accepted. He's also going to go to a Chelsea match with Alice's boyfriend Tim because it's literally around the corner from his flat.
A lot of this I can do with articles and stuff, which should save on the word count. Maybe. I'll see. But I'm moving forward which feels good.
Next comes the State Opening of Parliament, and Jack is SO EXCITED because Bertie will be wearing an ACTUAL CROWN. Not just a fake one that's been weighted properly.
