Today started with some lessons in observation. If you check the timetable, then you're less likely to arrive across the road from the bus stop as the bus pulls out. If you press the button, then the tram will probably stop at the required stop. Hmm. Third, next time, skip the bus altogether and walk into town...it's probably quicker. Public transport is good for people watching though, and if you're close enough, it's wonderful for eavesdropping. Who knows when those overheard conversations will come in handy?
My novel hit the magical 20000 words this afternoon. It's getting exciting, I really want to know what happens next. The danger, as in reading, is the temptation to race to the end without really savouring the journey. Pace. Time to escalate the tension, without letting the reins go. Now there's a challenge.

The magical 2000 words well done- how long a novel are you aiming for?
What crisp walking you are doing- certainly it's good to use gloves, coat and hat occasionally. Wonder if the State library is far away or the museum- great source of inspiration
