A thousand words this weekend, right on target for my next goal. Finished the scene at Vigor's funeral, and it turned out neither the way I'd originally planned it nor quite the way I'd intended it when I sat down to write: Clarity's grief, under intense pressure not to express itself (which arose both from her current situation and from Kris Rusch's advice not to let characters cry on stage) morphed into an intense and unexpected anger, which boiled out at a key and very public moment of the ritual. Made the scene interesting to write, to be sure, though it was rather gut-wrenching for me and I'm not sure what this will mean for her relationships with the people she has to work with now. Nothing good, I'm sure. (Which is good for the novel. Life as a character sucks.)
In other writing news, I've been invited to participate as a "pro" at the Worldcon writers' workshop, and I've been asked to write a story especially for the OryCon 25 souvenir book. Cool!
