Herc-o-meter: Hairy Pigs

[cathschaffstump]

Today’s writing work: first draft of Stymphalean birds, begin the revision of the Hairy Pig (Erymanthian Boar) recess wrestling match.
On the cutting room floor: Tony’s English class.
New hotness: interspersing Leo’s practice with Ernie Boar with the kids recess wrestling. Insert Tony’s nemesis.

Tomorrow’s plans: work on Stymphalean bird expansion, continue work on Hairy Pig.

LOVE Scrivener’s ability to highlight the places I need to revise in the outline.

Trivia for you: What weapon does Hercules use to flush the Erymanthian Boar out of the thicket?

Herculean Wisdom: Tony always thought that saying school started in the summer was a bold faced lie. Before they had run away from home for the year, Mom and Dad had loaded Tony and Bianca up with long sleeved clothes and jeans. Bianca wanted to wear her new school clothes, but school always began in the summer, when there was no air conditioning and students puddle into oozy, drippy frog monsters who are supposed to be interested in learning something, but in reality want to go swimming in the black lagoon.

Remember this when you’re dressing for the classroom this week or next!

Hercules uses a spear to chase the boar out into a snowy embankment, then a net to capture him.

Do I get a cookie? :-)

BTW, great progress on your word count!

Well done!

We'll see about the cookie.
