Such tension!

Yeah, I'm back. There was a week and a half, close to two weeks, where I had family in town. My mom, and all my siblings and their kids, all in the same place for the first time in years. Bit of a family reunion. So not only did I not write anything, I didn't re-read anything, either. But I did keep thinking. Can't help but do that. Which is good, because I was coming up on a bit of a roadblock anyway. A spot where I knew what should probably happen, but couldn't visualize the place or the conversation, and I kept refusing to fake it. As it happens, a two-week break was forced upon me right then anyway, and by the time I was ready to write again (i.e. yesterday), the image was in my mind.

Now that things are more or less back to normal, yesterday and today have been pretty productive days. I have a general feel for how things are likely to play out going forward. Not well for my protagonist, to be honest. But I'll follow the story line wherever it goes.

Thanks for reading!
