lagilmanHaving finished a project and sent it off to be torn apart commented upon by my Occasional Muse, I woke this morning thinking thinky thoughts about the next project.
Apparently, however, those thinky thoughts (once I confirmed that the research material I needed was indeed available at the NYPL yay NYPL) required me to scrub down the kitchen in order to reveal themselves. Positive displacement FTW.
And lo, the kitchen is now sparkling and scrubbed (down to the inside of the toaster) and I have a page of character notes and a sensation that this is going to be one of those stories that eats my heart with sharp, slow bites. Which is good, right? Right? right. sigh.
Commencing work on "The Rat King" in 9...8..7...
EtA: oh yeah. Nick Cave's The Boatman's Call is the opening soundtrack on this one.
Okay, fess up: How many of you out there practice Willful Positive Displacement? Y'know, the "I need to think about this but I can't think about this yet so I'm going to go do something otherwise distasteful so the thoughts will come rescue me" thing?
