Gosh, the holiday season is a brutal grind in retail. I absolutely need to publish more books so that I don’t have to do this another year because I think it may be the death of me…
Actually, with the virus flying around it may be the death of me yet, so I shouldn’t complain. I am down to my last 2 N95s for a while, but there are only 3 days left, so that’s okay… well, two and a half.
But whatever! Not writing related, except tangentially, so moving on!
I watched a few episodes of “Ted Lasso Season 2” this week, and gosh that’s a great show. The first season ranks among the most heartwarming, clever writing I have ever had the pleasure to witness. It’s really good. I don’t know if I could write anything as earnest as Ted Lasso… and yet so honest and powerful. I usually aim for cool and exciting, though, but an occasional moment of touching or clever is nice when and where you can find it.
It is giving me an idea or two for the novel, though. Particularly Rebecca’s character, who is pretty badass. I think I can use some of that energy in the story for one of my characters (Ashley, specifically… she’s a lawyer, and pretty badass, although all three of the protags are, but in very different ways).
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
