Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7

I’ve added a widget that shows my word count total for NaNoWriMo.  So far I am right on track with over 5,000 words and, wonder of wonders - I’m neither tired of the story nor running out of ideas for it.  I’m actually surprised, it is coming together pretty cohesively…for a first draft…about ancient Sumeria.  By the way, they DID have beer then, didn’t they?  I know they had fermented honey drinks…. And did they take baths?  Never mind, in my ancient Sumeria they did.

I’ve always had trouble with dialogue, especially with my main character, so I made it easy - she doesn’t talk much, but is a really good listener!  Dialogue with other characters isn’t a problem, just the main character…don’t ask me why.

I’m finding Wikipedia a great resource for little things like the name of the canal that Uruk was located on (Nil) and what other city-states were around Uruk, and where were they located, up or down-stream.

I also stopped mid-paragraph today because I know where this particular scene is going and I want a good, strong spot to start on tomorrow.  There’s nothing so terrible and sitting down and trying to figure out what happens next!
