This Sleep of Death

Blah, back in DC. I can't believe how much I miss Maine already...or how unhappy I am to be back. At least my sketchy new job pushed back my start date by a week, so I got to mope at home rather than doing it at the office.

Anyway, I've kept up with my writing very well, in spite of my extended vacation. I missed Friday, but had such a buffer that it was covered anyway. Besides, I was freaking out about fitting everything in before I left...which I didn't. Didn't see my friends' house (sorry, Vincent & Isa!), and didn't see an old family friend I'd wanted to catch up with (sorry, Tammy!). Next time, I guess. Or maybe I'll just move home...

Today was a tough writing day, but I got out a good 741 words. It was all dullish linking material, so I'm hoping tomorrow's stuff will be easier. I need to do a little more detailed plotting...I've got everything plotted (I think...) except for this part. Painful.

Bryn & Mer are in a safe house at the moment, and she's convinced herself that he's a spy who has stolen government secrets. To be fair, she's not far off: he's a rebel who stole a prototype from the government. She has it in her head that he's evil, though, so I have a few things to work out. First, what happens next to keep her in the thick of things with Bryn? Then, how does she steal the chip Bryn took from the government (in a foolhardy attempt to return it), and how does he catch her? Where do they go from there, and how does Bryn begin to win her trust?

Bah, that's a lot to worry about--but not today! Now I must go pick up poor, evil Draco and then go visit with my mum (yay!). Maybe a visit with her will lift my spirits.

Ta for now!
