Day 4

It's a bright, cheery, snowy as hell Friday morning. Lesser souls were deterred from making the trek up here in the snowstorm, but I prevailed, and now I'm here watching the snow pile up on the valley below.

I made some headway on Black Doves yesterday, so I'm excited to pick up where I left off. This project has been like pulling wisdom teeth in some respects, but also a joyous gift, when I'm feeling the spirit of Moonbase Alpha. Het. Depends on the day. Right now it's feeling joyous so I have to go with that energy. The trick to this novel is that it's essentially a non-Space: 1999 story, but I'm almost shoehorning the Alphans into it. It's kind of weird. I have to be careful not to let Koenig and Pals be too passive. Ultimately, they have to save the day, cause they're the heroes. But in my book (literally), they have to work damn hard to get there.

Yesterday I also discovered the reason my legs and feet were so damned cold here - the bottom ventilation window had been left cracked open. Today it's so much more comfortable, thankfully. I also brought my legwarmers because my ankles can't be too warm in weather like this.

Time to guzzle some hazelnut coffee and get on with the proceedings.
