Clockwork Heart
I’ve been sitting on a hard wooden chair all day, pencil in hand. I’m on page 374, which is where the the story shifts from the initial investigation to a secondary investigation, leading to a pause between major action sequences. This is the slow point that Paula asked me to address, and I’m not sure how to fix it without a major rewrite that introduces new plot elements. There are things happening — characters are being further developed and relationships are shaken down — but it’s devoid of fight sequences and narrow escapes. Hmmm.
I really need a writing desk and ergonomic chair. Alas, there’s no room for either in my little rental room. Good thing I’ll be standing in front of classes most of the day tomorrow.
