job!!!!! squeeee!!!!!
I HAVE A JOB!!!
I'll be doing secretarial/clerical work for an administrative office of the Ithaca school district, starting on Monday. It's 7:30-3:00, at $8.00 an hour -- not my ideal hours or pay scale, but at this point I don't much care. It should run for about three months, but the exact duration is still undecided.
I HAVE A JOB!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!
----------------------------
Have not yet written for NaNo today. But! I finally finished creating the twelve lords and ladies of the Inner Council, who are vital to the plot (and, incidentally, to the scene I will be writing when I get home). Until I knew who they all were, I couldn't write my next scene, which was holding me up the last day or two.
Political intrigue is a pain in the ass to write. But now I know who Ranna's allies are, who belongs to the various factions opposing her, and which ones she's going to target in her attempt to create a deadlock in the Council. Because she, as queen, gets to break any ties. Right now, she has 2 on her side, 4 in Olek's faction, 3 in Vanulie's faction, 1 who swings back and forth, 1 who tries to remain above the fray, and 1 who keeps her mouth shut but tends to create chaos for the fun of it. She'll win over Langard (from the faction of 4), convince Bethurika (the swing voter), and cut a private deal with Shae (the chaos lover). Then she either has to convince Marror (the one who tries to remain above the fray) or intimidate one of Olek's remaining supporters. Olek himself, and Vanulie's entire faction, are lost causes.
Or something like that. Details are very much subject to change, since my outline is vague and I always switch things around as I write.
