Somehow, don't ask me how, a mosquito made its way under my shirt, and I now have bites where it is completely impolite to scratch. *rolls eyes* We live near enough to a lake to have the mass mosquito population...though not close enough to have a water view. They are everywhere, and I take a perverse delight in striking them down whenever I can. : )
Heading into the weekend now, I'm planning to get my synopsis finished up. It's a strange thing. Normally, I know the beginning and the end of a story and the middle is the hardest part. Now, I've pretty much got the middle, but the end and the beginning are unclear. This is why I usually have to write the book first! I mean, I have an idea for the opening scene, but I need the details in order for the end to have resonance. When you're looking for character development, you're trying to see how the character changes through the course of events. How is the character different at the end? What flaw is he/she trying to overcome? So maybe my problem is that I don't know my heroine very well yet. Hmm.
Tomorrow I may also head out and meet up with some libraries and bookstores in the area. Start my promotion push for The Silver Spoon. And hey, just a reminder, I'll be in Chicago (as opposed to the far, far northern suburbs) next weekend for Printers Row!
