I'm begun chapter 2 and have about 10, 000 words. They aren't great words or a great plot; however, it does tell a story ... I may yet introduce Joy's character, Harry St. Cloud, into the mix. He's just the sort of pooka -- well, wizard, actually -- who might shake up this weird combination inspired by Henson's movie Labyrinth.
Alas, the computer decided to do something weird today, so it goes into the shop tomorrow. Fortunately, Cheri loaned Joy one of her old computers, so we still have on-line access. Mom, bless her, has done my laundry tonight ... it seems that I only have time to finish that project during the holidays -- or on weekends.
Mundane, I know, but I have to chart my progress on the "nano" novel somehow ...
Oh, and I managed to balance on one foot for 7-8 counts several times tonight! Huzzah! The foreign lady in this picture is "Madame," aka Nathalie Krassavska, a prima ballerina who decided to settle in Dallas' Turtle Creek area when she retired from touring with the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo. She taught many of the ballerinas who perform in the DFW area; they gather together each year to perform a recital -- or a programme -- dedicated to the dances that she choreographed or inspired ... and sometimes we get the treat of watching her perform ... Man, those videotapes are old!!
