Sometimes I’m amazed at what the Plot Daemon has been up to behind my back. I was not feeling well for several days after the trip, and couldn’t get more than a hundred words or so out at a time. Far below my daily goals. (I was waking up unsure where I was–mostly thinking I was on the train, but once still in a hotel–and the writing itself was peculiar. I knew certain scenes would be difficult, but usually those difficult scenes come embedded in their full context. This time…not so much.) But underneath/behind all that, the Plot Daemon was busy.
