The Shoemaker's Daughter - blueprint
Mar. 11th, 2005 09:03 pmThis is the place where I apologize for the cross-posting. *g*
Anyway, I was thinking of a way to work out my frustration over the recent RL events, and it unexpectedly inspired me to pick up The Shoemaker's Daughter. Behind the tag, you can see the temporary story structure - and if you read the chapter titles and descriptions, you might figure out what's going to happen.

Mum's coping - on her own way. She's walking around the flat, and when I'm not looking, she's already at doing the washing up and stuff. With one hand bound to her waist. *shakes head* The nights are worse - she can't find a comfortable positure to sleep, and so wakes up every hour or two.
