I still have no idea how I'm going to piece it all together. Right now I have two separate narratives, but they don't run in parallel, so if I alternate chapters, one narrative will be giving away stuff I don't want to give away yet.

It's kind of a mess. But I guess that's why it's called a *rough* draft

Do it in largish chunks. Like "Part One" is one person's and "Part B" is someone else's. You'll have to structure it so the parts are similar in length and have a good story arc to them but I've seen that done quite successfully in various SF stories I've read.

Ok, done with breakfast, made dinner (crock pot roast. With wine. So we have a wine that automatically goes with dinner). Goal today: write. Making a pecan pie tomorrow to take to Thanksgiving in Chicago but as Talon said, we can't make it today unless we make two :-)

TurkeyMoot was just about a year ago. Wow.
