Grumble...

So, yesterday, after staring at the screen, and staring at the screen and STARING at the screen and producing maybe 200 grudging, stilted words, I conceded that there was a Problem, that the Problem was back in Chapter Seven and that there was to be No Going Forth until I'd straightened it out.

Pfui.

Printed out Chapter Seven and the relevant paragraphs from the preceding volume, and retired with them and Sabu to the living room couch. After much study, located the kink. Dithered because I like the scene as it exists and didn't want to deconstruct the whole dern thing and rebuild. OTOH, it set up a situation which is flatly wrong. Finally fired up Sabu and started a whole new chapter, using some -- ACK!

[Excuse me for a moment. Scrabble is behind the monitor, pulling on the speaker cords and generally being a hazard to herself and humankind.]

Ahem.

...started a whole new chapter, and found I'm able to use some of the Good Bits in the existing chapter. Got a solid 700 words written before kinzel came home from chess and I called it a night.

Wind and heavy rain overnight; lots of leaves stripped right off the trees outside my side office window. The rain seems to have gone out for coffee at the moment, but the wind's making up for it. Pretty weather!

Sigh...

I paid bills. You don't wanna know.

Trust me.

The new!improved! chapter is shaping up to be More the Thing. I'd hoped to finish today, but -- no joy. Tomorrow may be a better day, though the news that we did not win the $215 million Powerball has put a definite Crimp in my style...

Your kind of beauty is mysterious. You are not a
very open person so you can be hard to figure
out. Some people would say ALL girls are this
way but your mysteriousness is intriguing and
makes people want to find out more about you.
Your beauty is like a pair of eyes. So pretty,
so deep, and yet they hold so much emotion that
you have to look hard to see. You're pretty
intoverted so you talk a lot less than some of
the people you might know and when you do it's
probably very soft and calm. You don't really
like the way you look but trust me, your
beauty is special and desirable.(If you can't
see the pics, go to my homepage and look near
