I feel summer creeping in and I'm tired of this town again

Apparently my brain isn't as entirely done with TDC as it wanted me to believe. I couldn't sleep last night, got out of bed at 1 AM to play freecell, and ended up writing a new scene for the prologue and not going back to bed until 4 AM.

I also removed 9700 words of Vienh's pov yesterday. The scenes are cute and fun (and laden with research), but they're not pulling their weight. Maybe I'll stick them on the website as DVD extras.

Now I have one specific detail I want to work in somewhere, a scene that needs more cowbell, and another pass to layer in more exposition roller derby. Without Vienh's boy-ogling scenes, the balance is definitely roller derby > boyfriend. But fear not, boyfriend enthusiasts--the next book will make up for that.

Now it's time to eat make the doughnuts.

Mah suck monkey, let me shows you it

This scene already has character bits, backstory, worldbuilding, and foreshadowing. I find it distinctly unfair that it's expected to have plot as well. :P

Also, green tea ice cream is officially weird. Possibly the weirdest dessert I've ever had. It would be weird enough on its own, but my olfactory-association receptors turn it into sushi ice cream in my mouth. Craziness.
