Fuzzy Outlines
Jun. 6th, 2006 10:15 amWell, I got to page 356 last night. Not as much progress as I wanted. I'm at a place where my outline is a little fuzzy. I added a POV after doing the outline, and now my index cards are all messed up. Also, a second reader has told me that one of my POV characters is a liitle boring because he's so nice. Fortunately, it's the character who's currently most likely to get his POV slashed.
Here's the question of the week. You've got a bullet left in your brain. It's not steel, it's a minie ball. It's not moving and doing additional damage, but it is leaching lead into your brain tissue. Oh, BTW you're not human. You heal faster than a human, but your brain functions are more or less analogous, and the bullet is in your frontal lobe, forward of the left temple. Minie balls are famous for slow poisoning, and the blood-brain barrier would, I think, mess up normal transmission of toxins into the other parts of the brain.
OK, so any educated guesses on how long this will take you to get seriously messed up if infection doesn't take hold? (You have a superior immune system, so that's not the real issue.) Does lead even cross the blood-brain barrier (I would assume so)?
Second question....I couldn't think of the word for those big stone rectangles on either side of steps leading into semi-classical buildings....I need Illustrated Architecture for Dummies. Anyone know that word?
At the bottom, a picture of the admin building at my alma mater should be appearing, and there's a giant box on either side of the stairs. I NEED to know what those are called!!!
