About half an hour to go before my hair finishes steeping and I can rinse it out.
I thoroughly enjoyed my double DVD bill of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset last night, reminding me how much I love that kind of talky movie. (Anybody out there seen the rather dark and long French film The Mother and the Whore? One of my favorite really talky movies...) Before Sunrise was sweeter, but I thought the dialogue and characterization in the sequel was especially spot-on...and Julie Delpy's character in particular.
Last night I also finished reading the draft of my novel. It needs a ton of work, and the thought is a bit daunting - but then again, at least I mostly know what needs to be done to make it work...

One problem I'm having at the moment is figuring out whether I'm doing enough foreshadowing and dropping enough hints about certain secrets. One of those things that I can't come straight out and ask the betas about until it's all done.

Date: 2005-01-17 01:11 am (UTC)I did have somewhat of a problem with -- well, gee, what if his wife really does love him? what if she doesn't think things are that bad? what's going to happen to the kid? -- but I guess in a way that isn't the point. (My eldest stepsister, who spent a lot of time in France and whose ex-husband is French, also pointed out that if these two were French, it wouldn't matter what happened as long as they were discreet!)
