Enid research photos

Has anyone got time to proof read for me in the next 48 hours? Send me an email.

I've made wonderful progress on my treatment and pages for Enid's Wall. I tend to write better in Harwich anyway. I'm not sure why; it's not like there are more distractions in the apartment than in the house. But it's especially true when I'm trying to write Enid because I can just go to the places I'm going to have her go whenever I need inspiration.

I have to email copies of everything to my professor Wednesday evening so that everyone has time to read over it before we workshop it a week from Tuesday. I can't post it here because we haven't yet got to the class where we learn about how to approach original authors to get the rights to their stories. I was struggling with it for a while earlier in the week. I feel much better about it now.

It's raining now, but the weather was nice earlier so I went out and took some research photos.

I thought Enid could have a moment at the pier where she knows it's not sailboats and whalers anymore, but faced with the reality of is disconcerting. Much like I felt the one time I drove onto a military base and thought, "Well of course it just looks like an office park. I just couldn't help picturing a wood stockade fence with square guard towers in the corners."

There wasn't actually much fishing going on today, but the seals and gulls were hopeful anyway.


Authentic fishermen cleaning their boat. Three generations I believe.


I thought the ladies on the pier looked like a slightly younger version of Cassie's Wednesday Women's Group


Yesterday they put up wreaths around Harwich. They've all got buoys.

This photo isn't from today. But Cap't Cass is famous for the buoys on the wall.
