Apr. 10th, 2013 08:24 pmProject: Royalty novel
Market: Whoever wants it
Deadline: None
New words written: 1162
Mean things: Press, press, press.
Fun things: Random tweets, CUTENESS. Baby pictures.
Research: Rupert the Bear - no, really. And also I went house shopping last night for lots of minor characters - am making a google map. And the Imperial State Crown, for tomorrow's writing.
Got a lot done today. And what's best is that it's covering a lot of time, because I wrote a lot of little bits of articles/random tweets and that sort of thing. In a novel with a very sprawling word count, this is GOOD.
Jack got Bertie's new godson (named Rupert) a Rupert the Bear teddy. He got it on ebay, because I can't see that they're available in any shops. I also needed to check if it would have been around in his childhood (since he's a few years younger than me) and it was, thankfully. The animated series I remember aired around 1991-5, so he'd remember it. And it was repeated a lot anyway. And it's cute.
And then I had Bertie and Jack preparing for the dinner that will introduce Jack to the wider royal family. Just some cuteness about titles. Jack was amused that Tim would be given an earldom, and Bertie just raised an eyebrow. He then told him Jack would get a dukedom and that he thinks there'd be a strong case for making Jack HRH. You know, hypothetically, or so they tell themselves. There's still far too much stuff going on for them to be seriously considering it. Jack was a bit stunned, and Bertie told him of course if in this hypothetical situation he didn't want titles Bertie wouldn't force them on him. And then they were snuggly and in love and talked about how they missed being alone. It's a temporary thing, anyway. They know that once they get through the first few weeks/months, and do things properly, they'll get lots of time alone together.
Jack says when they can spend a WHOLE NIGHT together, they're doing it at his flat where there aren't bloody pipers first thing in the morning.
