That's one way to do it

lizvogelJust shy of 1100 words yesterday!
It took me something like six hours to do it, which since I was writing in bed at night means that it was about 4:30 am when I finally added the last one-more-bit and shut down the laptop. On a morning when I had to get up early, of course.
I'd figured out what order to put two things in, you see; it'd make things much harder on my character if they happened at the same time, so that's an obvious win. It didn't come out as tortuous as I'd envisioned, but it did keep him from pursuing the thing he wanted to do because of the thing he had to do. And I've got something planned for later in the scene that should mess him up nicely. ;-)
Eventually the caffeine will wear off and I will plummet like a sheep. But still, nearly 1100 words!
