I would just like to report that since I posted this message a week ago, I have written over 20,000 words.
Apparently the fear of the Editor is the beginning of all authorial wisdom, at least for me -- or the end of my authorial dithering, at any rate. And I am especially happy to report that after slashing Chapter Six and Seven to ribbons and rebuilding the entire sequence, it is a million bazillion quadrillion times better than the redundant, unfocused mess I had before. Plus, it now has one of my favorite secondary characters bringing the awesome in a way I didn't expect, which is always a plus...
Did I mention that today we also got a cat? Because we did, and she is lovely. I will spam you with pictures of her tomorrow.

Oh, my word, my sides, my everything.
mistful, this is totally for you. Done by the Author Herself, no less.
If this is what happens when writers go on road trips with their kids, I can only be thankful that we do not have more Playmobil.
(Aside to
eegatland: Put the toys down and go write another book. I grow impatient!)
