I have discovered that there are two major research adventures I feel in desperate need of persuing in order to truly give Sewing Words Together the detail and beauty and grit that it deserves.
Adventure 1: A road trip from Brisbane down to Melbourne ... This requires me to finally get my license.
Adventure 2: A day spent in the book cafe I have semi used as a place for a large aspect of Sunshine's existence ... this requires a day off during the week and may take a lot of fenangiling with the Director at work
I like having goals.

Clean Slate
I have started to write my second draft of Sewing Words Together. It was a big decision to make, and I ummed and ahed about it for over two weeks before I finally took the big step.
The reason it was such a hard task to begin, was because while the major theme and characters have mostly retained their integrity and unshininess, a few have changed and so has the perspective. I am now writing the current timeframe in first person and Sunshine's past snapshots in the third.
It's feeling a lot more genuine to her journey ... here's hoping it pans out.
