current chapter: 00 - "On Vacation"
current chapter word count: 8703 words on 18 A4 pages (up from 7435 yesterday)
scene written today: at the Mori office
scene completed? maybe, depending on whether or not I add the current OMR (onmyoryo) planning situation to their interview with Miyagi, or if I have it later as a discussion among themselves. I have yet to determine which will work/read better.
unrelated facts nevertheless useful for today's writing: airing time of Miami Vice on Japanese television (1986-88), translation of Kajii Matojiro's short story "Under the Cherry Blossoms", Monstera potted plants.
scenes edited on paper: all but the one written today.
any major changes: none, discounting five typos and an occasion of "fainted" instead of "faded".
quote of today's writing:
The white washed walls were adorned with protection spells painted in reddish-brown lacquer. At least, Subaru hoped it was paint and not blood lacquered over.
excerpt of today's editing:
"Here." Subaru held out the bottle of Evian that had been included in their beach kit. It was half-empty. Subaru had drunk himself. "I take it that your 'diplomatic visit' did not go well," he said while Seishiro rinsed his mouth, then drank slowly.
"It went perfectly fine." Seishiro capped the bottled after a last swag.
"Did it?" Subaru glanced at him. "Your points of memory and compliance are pierced."
Seishiro touched his temple and found two small adhesive bandages. "I never said the diplomatic relations were good to begin with."
