Birthday Part Deux
My family experiences a phenomenon (which I gather isn't that unusual) of birthday clustering: everyone in the family (including those who marry into it) are either late-summer birthdays, or Christmas-to-January. This afternoon was the Gang Family Party for those of us whose birthdays fall within a week of Labor Day: self, niece, nephew. Nice lunch, cake-n-icecream, long drive home, work until bedtime. Already school stuff is piling up, and as I plow into the polish on Magistrates, there's a LOT to be done... even before I embark on the always-maddening process of cutting for length. (90,000 words max).
This is the point of the process where ramifications start to arise: How did Ysidro reach the conclusion that he has to go zombie-hunting? What is the relationship between Lydia's faithful maid Ellen and the new baby Miranda's nanny? At what point does Asher realize that the person who's providing him with cover from the Germans is likely to betray him? And how do I deepen the various points aforementioned without adding words to my already rather purple prose?
