Happy Month, Kalo Mina!
Kalo mina being the traditional Greek greeting on the first day of a month. I am, hopefully, greeting you from a boat in the Aegean right now, as we’re off to Rhodes on Friday to do some bits and pieces. We’ll have a couple of days holiday and do very little apart from hang out at the Plaza hotel, wander around Rhodes, maybe walk out to Jumbo if the weather’s good and have a mooch, try the new Thai restaurant near the Casino if it’s open, or the Indian restaurant, Saffron, read, see people and so on. The forecast is currently for good weather which makes a change after the past few weeks. The photos today are of the hail that landed on Wednesday. As you can guess, we didn’t leave the house all day.
The other photo is a plot chart for the story I am working on. I wouldn’t look too closely, even I can’t read half of it. The boxed text parts are the main progressions per ‘act’, there are three main lines, two more connected than the first, the main action plot, and the red is another subplot dealing with the main character’s through line and reason for his change in character etc. Thanks to my new work station, I can have this on the wall opposite me as I write, hopefully keeping me in line when the characters take over and wander off into their own stories. You see, writing Mills & Boon for boys is not as straightforward as it appears.
So, as we are away in Rhodes, there will be no Saturday Symi Photos post tomorrow, but all should be back to normal on Monday as long as we’re able to get the boat back on Sunday morning. Hopefully, I will have some outdoor photos for you, probably of Rhodes and our trip, but it will make a change from rain and wind, hail and grey skies. Maybe.
