   So... I did nothing today, but I was thinking that I should open one of my   
   working files and plunge into an action scene that I figured out comes next,   
   pulls my people into the fray in a way they can't avoid because I'd been   
   trying to figure out why they    
   would start hunting monsters instead of just go home.  The "but why me?"   
   question seems to be an important one and "because the author wants you to"   
   might be the real answer but there has to be a plot answer too, so, I'd   
   *found* the plot answer...   
      
   But I'm finding it hard to write. Same-old dumb pre-emptive internal editor, I   
   suppose, trying to get it perfectly right before putting a word on the page.   
      
   In any case... anyone doing NANOWRIMO?  Getting your word counts?
