Yay! 200 pages. Hopefully that means a downhill slide to the end.
And then a honking big revision. I keep getting glimpses of what I want the book to be like. Odd times when I feel the weight of it or can almost smell it – like walking into the room a few hours after someone wearing perfume. But then it vanishes and it’s back to talking heads and the mist. Which is part of the fun, I guess.
The Other Boleyn Girl was okay. I preferred the book which was meatier. But the costumes were glorious and, as with all films set around that time period, I came out feeling devoutly glad I am not living in a Tudor or Elizabethan royal court. Brutal.
