In which Silas crosses the desert.
No laundry done today, no clearing up, no housework, no reading, and no exercise...
...but I have got to page 98 in my editing of my Patagonia novel. I feel have 'got into' the book again now - and consequently am enjoying myself very much. My hero, Silas, has just managed to cross thirty miles of cold wind-swept desert.
I am mainly taking superfluous parts out, as my editor advised. Even though I have scarcely moved from this chair I am oddly exhausted.

Great progress!I can`t wait to read it, especially as Silas sounds a bit like husb. Well done!Jump up and down again soon x
Thanks Ali. I think I am going to have to jump up and down again soon. I'm beginning to stiffen up in this chair - I've been in it too long.
I can't wait to read it too.
Reading about travelling can leave you feeling like you've really done it - let alone writing. I've just been to the Antarctic and back with Nikki Gemmell ('Shiver') and I'm only just thawing.
Ah, but you've done so much. Fair play for making yourself do it, by blogging about it. Tell yourself that you are paying close attention.
A spare set of character sketches for in the shed, did you say. I'm thinking of converting my shed.
Hi Barbara! 'Fair play' is something the Welsh say too. The shed is good - but a bit cold in mine at the moment - even with a radiator.
Yes, Jem I agree completely about the travelling. I went there once, and today I feel I have been back again.
Thank you Kay - you are all so kind!
