more novelin' Saturday

Today's Jo book words: 1530

I am so glad I figured out what to do with chapter 20. First draft writing is so much fun, but soon I will be done with the draft of chapter 20 and I'll have to go back and make it, you know, actually good. Plus I still need to do some more research for the chapter.

The rest of the evening will be taken up by Georgette Heyer, Dark Shadows, and a champagne cocktail.

I think part of my extra-good mood is due to the knowledge I only have a two-day work week ahead.

Is there a post where you explain the plot of the Jo book? I've seen so many mentions of it, but I have no idea what genre it even is :D

(also, I always mean to say, go you with the novel writing!)

Thanks, Circe!

Jo is a young soap opera actress in mid-1970s NYC. She's being haunted by the ghost of her best friend who accidentally blew herself up protesting the Vietnam War. (Also, Jo is in love with her married co-star.)

It's basically a literary novel with a ghost in it (like my last novel was a literary novel with vampires!).
