The Set-Up and the Straight-Away

If you've been hanging around lately, you've heard me complain about writing at the speed of a thundering herd of reluctant turtles. (Actually I'm not sure I've complained here. Anyway. Complaining. Turtles. Herd. Onward.) I've been whining about my Goodreads story. I wanted to toss out a quick fun story that readers hopefully would enjoy as much as I did. Instead I've passed 20k and I'm only halfway through my plan.

There's a point to this, besides the fact that KD is not good at guessing...
