It was suggested on Twitter today that the Poignant Denouement would make a great drink. Someone help me design that!

ETA: I feel like champagne and bitters would be thematically correct here. It needs something to tie them together.

More progress today, if not of heroic proportions. My hands aren't crazy about typing 6,000 words in a day. Luckily for them it so rarely happens.

Sadly, I ground to a halt right before the melting maenads. (I should stop calling them zombies--someone will get the wrong idea.) Eight years ago I thought it was a fun idea to include a certain character I had lying around, one whose backstory ties in to larger parts of the meta. And while it was fun, it was also incredibly wack, and not actually helpful to this particular book. So now I have to replace that character--or at least his backstory--with one more streamlined. But while I know exactly what this character does in the book, I now find myself with too much freedom while recasting. Who is this person? Is he a he anymore? Do I care more about his amusingly snarky interactions with one character, or his romantic subplot with another? Can I still have both if he's a she? (The romance definitely, but I'm not sure if the other character would react in the same way to a woman.)

Who is my mysterious ghoul with a gun? Has anyone seen hir?

A desperate plea quick reminder that my Bitten by Books Q & A is still going on here. Please don't leave me alone stop by and say hello.
