Sarah St Vincent Welch #261 writing a chapter, finding a word (for LM)

I need to start where I have been

trace over with another colour

tell an aspect of the story again

recast it, change the details

if I don’t know a word

I have to find it

I ask everyone

or it’s the bottle stopper

the plug

the lock

I sit with open dictionaries

thesaurus

internet

wiki this and wiki that

ask strangers

friends

get on the hooter

tweet

message

what the hell’s that thing called

it’s holding up a whole chapter
and it does
