Judith and Her Maidservant, Artemisia Gentileschi

10,252. Thinking about Trail of Shadows and how I don’t want it to become another A Lamentation of Swans–one rock around my neck is enough, thank you. I’ve decided to stick with my original tactic. Each time I sit down to write, my goal is to answer this question: “What happens in this chapter?” That’s how I wrote Chapters 1 and 2 of ToS. Now I’m at Chapter 3 and I want to keep moving. No stopping and sobbing in place. Starting August 1, 2 pages a day.
