Melie, Shay, treachery, and mystery: 2048 words

2015-01-22_13.34.11 copyCrazy back pain this morning—sometimes the damn twisted spine is just unbearable, and I had to do a lot of stretching this morning to even get mobile. So it was after 7 AM before I got my first words.

But once I got rolling, they flew. I had to pull out the Minecraft map to see if a couple of things I needed to have characters do could be done, and discovered that, with a bit of tinkering, they could.

But the real gem of my interaction today was between Melie and Shay, figuring out how they’re going to handle their hell of a mess while sitting right in the middle of it.

2015-01-22_13.32.52 copyAgain, got two things I hadn’t anticipated—one a change in how they see each other, and one Shay’s very neat way of getting information of Melie.

Good damn writing day, and at this pace, would put me just a few days out of finishing the story, except that I look like I’m running long again.

I think I see a way to take out some of the planned scenes though, and maybe scoot them into the next episode, so that I can keep this tight and get it done and get started back on HTWAS, Module Three.

I know what you mean about the ruler. When the left knee locked Thanksgiving weekend, it became more of a problem than my right knee, which just chronically bothered me. I got a steroid shot in mid-December, which worked nicely until this week, when, apparently, it wore off. The way I could tell it was working was I noticed the pain in my right knee again.

The left knee is finally back to a manageable level today, but it’s far from good.

Knees. Blasted knees for me. Bad as knee pain is, I know back pain is worse.
