I'm finally making some progress with my Silver Blaze interpretation. I had to adapt differently than I'd imagined because I have Sherlock and friends discovering the body. Well, this means I have to separate out the Holmes line of investigation and the police's line of investigation because Sherlock isn't working under the assumptions that Holmes is, based on all the malarkey that he and Watson discuss which has already been in the papers. My plan is to put all the same elements in, but they'll be differently sequenced. We'll get the Holmes side of things first hand and the police side of things from newspaper reports.
The best part of using SB is that Holmes's whole point of view is blatantly - I'm not affiliated with the police and therefore I can do as I damn well please - that allows me to both separate the story lines and have some real fun with Sherlock interfering with the tracking of the horse. And the fact that the Colonel gets all peeved with him is awesome because John gets to punch him!
So hopefully now that I've worked this out I can get some actual words onto the screen and keep clawing my way to the end of this section. I can see the finish line in the distance - really I can!
