Writing "The Square" is proceeding quietly in the background - I really should count the words and add them into NaNoWriMo. I had a sort of breakthrough today when I randomly introduced a new character. I needed someone to help me tie two story lines together and so I sat in a coffee shop talking to an Isreali scientist. She helped me make the connections.
It's worked brilliantly, because even parts of the story that I thought I understood are now different from the way I was planning to tell it.
The fascination for me is having these random characters parked around one's head and then having them reactivated. I can learn from my earlier foray with "The Triangle", but I'm starting to feel that "The Square" is getting its own good plotline which is being partly written by the characters.
