Getting to a better place all the time with the synopsis. It’s under three (single-space) pages now, and getting tighter as I move along. Want to have one at three, then pare it down to a decent two, and finally, strip it to a single page. Not sure where that’ll leave the plot, but someone’s sure to ask for it so I may as well be prepared.
Was up and working by six thirty, but took unhurried passes at most of the drafts. Expected a lawn expert to show between eight and ten, but he didn’t get here until eleven. Good news is, he found the lawn damage as inexplicable as I have. Said it must have been sun, but couldn’t account for it completely, knowing we keep a strict watering schedule. Bad news is, it’s start over again. Reseed in October, hope for a long wet winter.
Took to the gym late, owing to the rest of the day’s setbacks, but got in a decent workout. Came home and read more of the Notes on Blood Meridian, then caught up on the news.
Not much of a day. But not bad, either.
