I opened a tab and it was my writing journal from early this morning and I wrote, "this scene feels boring to me and I don't know what anybody is wearing."

and then I proceeded to figure out the cultural contrasts in formal/ceremonial dress, some information that isn't quite sumptuary law but would allow an experienced eye figure out the social rank between the higher and lower order of aristocrats, and beauty standards.

I haven't figured out how to make it not boring, but maybe that's something i fix later.

I increased the manuscript by 565 words.

They were editing words. I was changing two scenes that I had already written, because I needed to correct them before I could go on with the new scene. But it is much hotter in here now than it was when I first started at 6 am and so I am going to respect the fact that hot rooms that are not saunas upset me so much that I can't do the meaningful mental work of writing, take care of myself, and stop.

So I get a bon bon today, because I got them to reward myself for working on the manuscript.

I have ordered a window mounted fan. It won't get here until Wednesday, but there is plenty more summer it can help with.

(there's going to be a filtered post today with more detail. As ever, comment if you're curious.)

ETA: It suddenly cooled off in here dramatically, so I decided to write three sentences in the manuscript.

make today's total 2195 words. *g*
