Hello

Today it's a whiteboard pen. I'd love to say that the pics are going to get more exciting but in all honesty, they're probably not. I have a love of drawing dull inanimate objects. And a love of whiteboard pens. They're squeaky.

Anyway, good day today. Was really struggling with getting the novel synopsis down from 2000 words to 500 when I read something on the internet which said "do the elevator pitch. Imagine you have only sixty seconds to outline your story to an important stranger."

Now, I've heard this before, but reading it again worked some magic. I started writing, imagining I was telling a friend about my book, and now what i have is the bare bones of the story, no extra unnecessary detail and a good chunk of text to work with. And a headache, but them's the breaks.

More coffee and a further edit and I should be done. Tomorrow, I'm looking at the chapters. eek.
