Alexander Theroux's Darconville's Cat

I'm reading Darconville's Cat out of a pure enjoyment of Theroux's prose, rather than an overwhelming interest in the story. So, of course, that means I'm reading other books concurrently (as I tend to do much of the time, anyway, but usually alternating between fiction and nonfiction).

As to writing, I've finally gotten past an intense action scene. I must go back and rewrite it after I complete the rest of the book. In fact, I should take a quick online class on writing action scenes, first. Action scenes do not come naturally to me. Actually, the entire book is slow, not like the first two (which are still waiting in the wings for rewrites). I think it is because I don't totally have my energy back, after ten years of stress. But I can see progress, albeit slow. Best of all, I still love the concept of this book and now have confidence in my ability to plot ... well, at least more confidence than I did previously ...

Rick's career change is now accomplished and I'm looking forward to him having a saner life--meaning weekends off! He's enjoying the process of finding clients, as well. Some day the business will pay off, I'm convinced.
