Feeling better this morning? Wish you could see the weather here, it's sunny. Cold, but clear. I am sure I will be hating Iowa in a couple months/weeks but for now it's not bad.

I sat down and wrote 3k yesterday, the final 1k in a half hour "I just want to finish this scene, then we'll watch something" mode. It got easy and I think I know where I'm going next. I still want to finish this! My goal for this morning is 30k.

As for your plot hole, does your female character have anyone she cares about and is slightly responsible for? Like a little brother? Someone she could be blackmailed with? What is her background, is there anyone in it who would help her get away even though she's slightly evil?

It's rainy again here. But hopefully at least I can accomplish something at work today. I just have felt stupid for a long time now, and it's enough to make me want to break down.

I'm beginning to think the gal might have a previous love interest who shows up. That could explain a *lot*. It isn't pretty or nice...but she's not altogether good anyway.

Of course, explaining that could take another fifteen thousand words, and I'm still fretting about the overall length of this. I get so attached to scenes and conversations that hacking it up during the editing process is going to be heartbreaking.
