gimme my hour back

The time change and a new diet have sucked my soul. I'll be back tomorrow night.

CURSE YOU SECOND WIND. I knew I should have popped in Napoleon Dynamite and just gone to sleep.

Words: 65,653. Low count because I ditched five pages after I realized I completely fucked the storyline with a reveal that needs to be later.

(Just because a secondary character knows something vital doesn't mean she's going to give it away. Even if it would benefit the hero. Massively. And possibly cause the hero to shriek like a girl and run off to the mountains to hide out with the llamas.)

And now I can feel the story picking up again, where it had been slacking off. Wow. That gnawing voice saying YOU'RE KILLING IT has gone away. Go-go-Gadget Id.

I still don't know what the significance of the demitasse cups was, though. Any clues, Id? No? Well, maybe later.
