11.WRITING THE CHILD CEPHALINA… too late to turn back now

February 20th 2017:  I was hoping to get more words than I did today. The ones I got down were fine and they seemed to flow pretty well. The tension is increasing between the adult main characters, and the child Cephalina is becoming powerful. Importantly, I’m still totally engaged with the story and I have now definitely invested too much into it to withdraw. I’m half way through chapter six. I think I should spend some more time reading in the hope of coming across something interesting about the Victorians to throw into the mix. I’m paying much less attention to social media which means I’ve got my life back and I can work properly. I’m no longer interested in the tiny details of FB friends lives even if they’re people I’m fond of. I sense strongly that I’m saving time, and also that my attention is more focused on what I need to do. Such an absurd distraction and we all know it, eh? But this writer page is more like what I’d put into my website, so it’s quite different from my ‘social’ one. And anyway, when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, I am a singularly anti-social woman, so I can’t quite think why I pretended I could be ‘sociable.’ Snort.
