No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Funny piece, but I'm sorry about the frustration, Typo Boy.

Thanks. Laughing at it helps a lot. And after all, I'm involved voluntarily.

I'm in Chapter 13 of my cutting run and I'm down about 7500 words. Or roughly a quarter of the words so far. I feel like I should apologize to my beta readers for having them read such an excess of unnecessary text.

Hey, its a valid writing method. Produce a lot of words that include what you want to say and then pare them away the way a sculptor pares away clay until they say what you want to say well.

It's certainly going to be all the better for trying to pare down the word count as much as I can.

Did the usual stuff and squeezed out more words. I need to start moving along a little quicker if I'm ever going to get this thing done.

I've started having second thoughts about the title. Right now it's "The Dead Mountain" when I had it divided up the second part was "Daughter of my Blood". Both titles are taken from the contents of the book, but I'm starting to think the second one is more dramatic. Anyhow, my favorite idea, "Aimee's Awesome Adventure" probably isn't the best even if it's an alliteration.
