Rewrite: Day 27. What Broderick wants

No rewriting today. It's Saturday and the sun's shining. The biting east wind has dropped to a purr and you might almost believe that Spring was on its way. The air is cold, though. It is still Arctic, Siberian, and quickly freezes the hands.

No rewriting but I have done my 750 words. I set myself a task: write about what Broderick wants and do it in three instalments of 250 words each. Write about what Broderick wants at the beginning of the novel, at the end of Part One (Plot point One) and at the end of Part Two (Plot point Two). It's a useful exercise.

Short break: 
Aurora's Encore wins the Grand National! I should have backed it! Odds of 66-1. Trained by Sue Smith in Yorkshire, wife of the great Harvey Smith. 

Back to the writing... His wants change midway but some of them come back again towards the end, more urgent than before. Interesting. What does he want? What does he really, really want?

That's all for today. Back to the sunshine and another cup of tea.
