I felt like I needed one of those eye opener devices from a Clockwork Orange today to keep myself working. I hate working at home, but it was pouring rain and I didn't want to go out to the coffee shop. I did manage to work for several hours, but it was ugly.

I've been doing odd work for a while in which I end up writing a bit and then spending time chopping other stuff out, thinning scenes and sentences. I think I finally cracked a chapter today that has been bugging me for months. It may still need work, but I think it's better now.

So this sucker may do that dumb thing where it grows and then shrinks because of chopping.

Did you ever play capture the flag when you were a kid? I was really good at sneaking across the line quietly and coming around the edge and taking the flag and then running all out back across the line. I was always amazed when I stepped across the line that no one on the other team noticed. I feel a little like that now and I really don't want the other team to notice me sneaking around behind all the text here--where the other team equals the reader.
