word whacking with glee!

So, not as much done today as I'd have liked. I got my chapters turned in and, of course, tonight I made significant changes. There I was writing along in chapter 3 and I realized it was boring. I was HORRORS! writing a transition scene to get me to the exciting part. What to do? Well, obviously, stop the transition. But if I were to go right to the exciting part, the chapter would have gaping holes in the logic. So I changed the ending of chapter 2 (this was remarkably easy to do) to have the Big Event happen there with everyone aware that it had happened. And as zey say in ze lovely Parees: "Wa-lah." I no longer needed the transition scene. Now, mind you, I have many words to whack but I'm so happy that --
dang that Alt-S! Why on earth would Blogger set Alt-S to publish?
-- I saw the problem, knew it was bigger than I liked, but I fixed it anyway!

Then I talked to my sister for a long while because the company she works for just got bought by a bigger company and tonight was the meeting to explain all the talk in the papers. Stressful for her. But the new company has better benefits.

So that's it for now. I'm tired. Oh, nice email today about Crimson City. That was really nice.
