Weekly report and snippet

Well, it's Tuesday again. Time to say something about the old writing process. And today, that something will be ... oh look! Squirrel!

I've been slogging along, finishing up a couple of the final scenes, but it's been slow. I don't think the characters are particularly happy with the situation I've put them in and they're dragging their feet/paws. For the most part, when this happens, I just move on to another scene and try again, or switch the point of view character and see if I can't get it to work from a new perspective. But there aren't that many scenes left, and I'm trying my hardest to stick with my commitment not to get sucked into the sequel until I complete the prequel.

So it looks like another couple of weeks of dedicated slogging, but I swear to Bast, I will overcome ... eventually ... hopefully ... with just a little bit of ... Squirrel!

A snippet of a conversation between Meagan and Chief Howe.

"Ms. Robichaud, I assure you, you're neither the first person to yell at me this week, nor the worst. At least your objections are rational."

"As opposed to...?" Meagan prompted.

"I had a report that your cat was seen driving your truck down Pritham Ave. Your immediate arrest was demanded in no uncertain terms."

"Hyperion was driving my truck? His legs couldn't reach the pedals."

"It's interesting that's the first objection to occur to you," the Chief mused.
