Yeah, I still haven't fixed the place below where I repeat myself. I'm working on it. I'm trying to get this post done before midnight so it doesn't look like I posted it on Tuesday. It's still Monday night to me, dangit.

I got up early this morning to write. I've discovered a problem with that. Whatever characters I'm writing in the morning tend to color the rest of my day. Today I've been writing someone that talks with a real blue streak. He has to. The character isn't realistic without it. (Really, Mom. He talks this way for a reason.) So for the rest of the day today I had to be careful not to answer people's questions in his tone of voice and .... colorful way of expressing himself. It could have really shocked some of the people who work for me. They'd think I finally snapped.

Anyway, Sarah's writing about police action on our street over at Fiendish Plot but I want you all to know I've been completely oblivious to it. I saw more police action down in the touristy section of the Magnificent Mile near where I work.

But I must post this immediately or it will be tragically too late to be Monday.
