I got the opening of the first scene of Lowborn 06 written, going with the new angle I’d come up with, and ran headlong into a snag.

I’ve been puzzling over it all day long, trying to figure out how to shelter my protags from a storm, while leaving the baddies exposed ( necessary to get me where I need to be )  Nothing was coming to me, so I went back to that content read and made it to the halfway point.

Then, I did the tracking for the Earth Day contest.  Made my post in the thread at Lit, giving the overall details.  Answered a few PMs and checked the scores on my latest stories.

I finally went back a minute or two ago, and started thinking about it again.  It hit me out of the blue only a few seconds later.  The perfect solution is actually inspired by “To Catch a Merchant Princess” *laugh*

Completely different circumstances, but a set piece I utilized in that story serves my purposes perfectly.  I even considered doing a little tie-in, as they happen in the same general time frame, but while the set piece will be very similar, the one in MP is near a forest, and the one here will be in an endless sea of prairie grass on the Great Plains of my world.

Anyway, I was just so tickled that I had to come crow *laugh*  I’m off to actually write the thing now.
