Today I had three projects going…well, I had three projects I was supposed to be working on at once, but I really don’t have a three-track mind anymore. 

Trying to find a new title for an old omnibus was one of them…I had it perking on the back burner until my agent emailed with another suggestion, while first-drafting on K-III.   I shifted to the title problem.  Then, before I could sink my mind into K-III again, got some email that sent me back to K-II.  It seems clear that I may have to rework all of one POV in the first half of the book.  Since for once I don’t have separate chapters for all three main POVs, this means crawling through the monster file and finding all of POV “A” and then staring at it until I figure out what to do.

Naturally that skunked work on K-III.  Until now.  Late as it is, I  think I’ve got a handle on what to do with  POV “A” of K-II (of course, I thought that before…) and I’ll put in a couple of hours on K-III tonight.

What gave me the new idea?   Going for a longish walk on the land, which forced the worrying, fretting part of my brain to concentrate instead on not walking into cactus, not falling in the water, ducking and weaving through the thickets, etc.    Finding (as usual) a lot of beautiful things to notice, from lichens to rocks to leaves still holding color to a dragonfly or two.
