Yes, I know. I haven't been posting. Work took another of its dramatic upwards swings, and on top of that I've had really terrible energy for the past two weeks or so. I'm tired all the time, sleeping insane amounts (when I can sleep in, that is) and generally dragging around being snappy and moody. I also missed a period, which suggested an obvious reason for all this, but the miracles of modern technology assure me it is Not So. Apparently the missed period is a symptom, not a cause.
Whatever. I don't care what's making me tired and whiny, but it can go away ANY TIME NOW.
However, the work crunch seems to be slackening, which means back to writing.
Rewrite Progress
Comments: The good news: only fifty pages left. The bad news: I'm into the really serious flounder, where not only did I not have any idea what I was doing when I wrote this stuff, I have only a hazy idea what I'm doing now. It's the heart of the Dreaded Middle and how I'm getting from where I am to where I need to be... well. Um. Look! A pink elephant!
It's slowly coming clear, though. I just have to keep banging at it.
Changes: Threw out a lot of meaningless dancing around. Revised the Naxan herdsman scene so it's (mostly) in line with what I'm doing now. Figured out how to dump a lot of Clues into the narrative in a reasonably sneaky way.
