Make for exciting stories.

Today, when I planned to do a whole lot of other stuff, has produced, so far, 2600 words and a character I did not anticipate in any way.

In other words, another plot bomb.  A BIG plot bomb.  A big enough plot bomb that I’m questioning whether it’s really a plot bomb or maybe I’ve gone totally bonkers.  True, books do produce more plot bombs toward the end (usually, if they have any…) but this…

Those of you who have read my story “Judgment” in the Dragon Quintet anthology have a head start.  I hope that’s not too much spoiler.

Any way, my hands hurt, my elbow hurts, and my busy brain is saying “More!  More!!”   I have no idea what’s coming next.  I have no idea whether what’s coming next really belongs in this book or has shoved its way in via a fiction-dimensional gate from another book.   (NO says the little voice in my head.   I GIVE YOU PLOT.  WRITE, DAMMIT.  WHAT YOU THINK, I GIVE THIS PLOT TO EVERYONE?)

Yes, yes, writers are totally crazy, we established that months ago.
