Daily efforts
Bonechill (that horror novel): I went back to this and just started a different section because I couldn’t face editing WWS any more.
That huge pile of notes: still making notes; reading all that Kate Elliott changed how I look at these characters a bit. I also had a structure revelation.
Accomplishments
“Wind/Water/Salt”. Over lunch with the boy I realized how to fix Chapter 11, which is by giving the main character what he wants but making his life worse in the succeeding of it. To be honest, this is probably how to fix most of the chapters.

Knitting
Celtic Gang Girls of the 70’s (Rowan and me). Started the month with the sleeves and 6 inches of back. I may not actually hate doing intarsia – my problem might be with most intarsia patterns. This project has made me feel more kindly towards that Sasha Kagan book I look through but have never knit from, and also tons of Rowan patterns. Anyway, now I have 10 inches of back (this is half the back). If I’m going to have this done by late November, I need to finish the back in August, the front (which has much less intarsia) in September, and the collar (a lot of intarsia) in October, then do the finishing…
FI Corset belt. Started the month with an inch done. Did maybe a half an inch. I must admit, I’ve chosen horrible colors and terrible yarn. At least belts are small. If you can call eight inches wide small.
Socks. Started the month with the toe of the first sock done. I ran out of the first ball of yarn (I have two) a couple of inches from the top, necessitating an emergency holiday trip to Michael’s, but the crisis has been averted. That first sock is almost done.
Finished sewing a dress. All that was left was buttons and buttonholes so this wasn’t a stretch. Started a skirt. I hope this goes faster, because that dress took like a year.
