Ignore that woman behind the keyboard!

Tonight's feat will involve whittling and melding three 22-page Jani POV chapters into one 22-page chapter. I'm not sure I can do it. It may slop over into a chapter and a half, at which point I could fill in with one of the other two POVs, one of which has been particularly underused up to now. Except that I think it's going to have to be the other POV that's used.

Don't mind me--I sit on this ledge all the time. I even totter up and down it waving my arms and shouting imprecations to innocent passers-by.

I would really like to be on a sailboat in the middle of the lake about now.

Oh well...onward...

The hell with characterization. The hell with plot. Theme? We spit on Theme. ptooie!

It's the business that gets you every frellin' time. Is the lightstick still lit, or did Lucien already bag it? If he already bagged it, how can Jani see his expression? Ok, take that line and move it down a few paragraphs. Is it raining or isn't it? Is it blowing though the breaks in the windows, sending dead leaves clattering across the floor? It isn't? Should it be?

Is Jani wearing a weatherall? Why not--it's raining. Shouldn't we mention that she's wet? Does she get her hands on a weatherall? Does Dieter bring her one? Oh good--does she wear it into the library? If not, when the hell does she take it off?

Freakin' bloody transitions business hate hate stabbity hate...
