I did a little rewrite on Queen of the Isle, more or less to simplify the lead-in of the story a bit.  When I read it again after letting it sit for a while, it felt too busy to me.  I stripped out a walk through a city of Agreseus, putting them directly on the ship instead.  I removed a couple of other relatively unimportant character elements, and I’m now back up to where I originally left off with a far tighter opening to the story.

Taking a few minutes to blow off some steam, and then I’ll decide if I want to pick up there, or pick up where I left off on SOTM 17.  Probably won’t get much done, because my butthead child took a four hour nap this afternoon at daycare that ended at 8:30.  Getting him into bed is going to be a nightmare.  Trying to concentrate and write with a wound-up child awake is hardly optimal conditions.

Anyway, off to goof around and chill out before I get back to the word processor.
