Once again, I'm cracking the case (fictionally speaking) and thinking "y'know, I need to seed that earlier, so they can realize it without the reader going 'say wha?'" This is why I write in multiple drafts; because although I know the plot, I don't always know the story until I've told it. So then I go back and retell it better, for you.

There are a lot of writers out there who think every detail through before they actually write it down. Me? Not so much. "Difficult to see. Always in motion is the story." Because really, if I can't surprise myself with the ending? Where's the fun in writing it?

I suspect this drives one of my editors insane, though.


We're on the clock for the tile delivery -- the window was 8am-12 noon. The current popular betting pool choice is 12:20PM.

EtA: the bell rang at 11:59. I believe quarkwiz won the pool.


Also? I think I've hit the "no more caffeine for you today" stage.
