Owwwwwwwwch



Just for kicks, just kind of, you know, for today, I thought I'd forego my pot of coffee for a nice pot of tea.


It's warm. It's got caffeine. It tastes good.


It's like taking aspirin for a stab wound.


And I have to write like this...





Unofficial Not-So-Daily Wordcount-o-Meter:

38,000 words


The 'damage' (about 5k that just weren't up to snuff and had to come out) has been repaired.
Act II has its 'sagging middle' propped up with an action-filled climax to one of the subplots.
The field is clearer now, and three important clues wait to send my Hero hurtling into his final showdown with the Main Bastard.
I have no idea which one he'll find, or what he'll make of them when he does. That's part of the fun!

LoL on the coffee/tea thing. I've been cutting way back on caffiene lately. Scary thought, I know.

I like the name "main bastard" for the primary villain. I'm going to start using that designation myself.

When I worked in an office and I still smoked, I used to drink coffee ALL DAY LONG. It's been at least 10 years since I did that and now I'm down to only one cup of coffee in the morning. I've tried weaning myself off of it, but somehow...I still need that kick start.

Congrats on your continued progress and willingness to ruthless cut out the dead wood. And Happy Thanksgiving.

I love a nice cup of tea now & again. A little honey, a little lemon...perfect little treat.
