I woke up with a headache, and lay there thinking “Not a migraine today, PLEASE.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But apparently, the headache was a plot bomb about to burst in my skull.\u00a0 Two, in fact, one each for the viewpoint characters involved.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As you have heard before, I enjoy plot bombs (words flow out with less effort and at least 80% of them are going to stay.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But I see no reason why these plot bombs had to wake me up after only three hours sleep, instead of letting me rest until daylight and dropping their contributions down my turret hatch then.<\/p>\n
That evil giggling noise you hear is the plot bombs’ parting word.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Scram, kids, or I’ll be after you with a broom.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the plot bombs tie in nicely with previous plot bombs, some of which are still only in outline form in the notes.\u00a0\u00a0 I know what happens to Mmph at the end of Book V, for instance.\u00a0\u00a0 Not what I earlier thought, either.\u00a0 Hope it sticks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I know how Hrmmph\u00a0 got involved with the whoozis and (to some extent) how that works out.\u00a0 Over a thousand words of it have emerged onto the file so far today.<\/p>\n
A good start, but now time for breakfast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
