After some bumps in the road (so to speak, and about which no speaking will be done)  Book consented to pick up a long trot  and make progress today.    I’ve been squiggling (technical term) through the byways of the second book to find out what was stuck in its gears, and removing same, which may be why it picked today to shake its head once and head down the trail.

I’m not sure it’s on the right trail, but it’s moving, and as Karen Pryor said about training critters, you can train something that’s moving, but not something motionless.    What’s happening?  The Count of Andressat is meeting the King of Tsaia…and I expect some jaw drops at this point.   Poor Jeddrin has gone not just around Robin Hood’s barn but many other barns to get there but he’s in possession of valuable information and so is the king, and if they put it together just right….well, we’ll see.

I’d like to get as much done as possible before the copy edits come in, but with my UK editor wanting some things done in between, there may not be as much progress as I hoped.    Today was about a thousand words–and I’m sure I’ve ripped that much of out of it since late last week. But this was true plot advance.
