I finished the first draft of the nightmare story, and I really think I’m on to something. And so does the SO, one small quibble aside. I need to edit, obviously, and editing can wait until tomorrow. But I am pleased. Very pleased.
I’m not sure if I need to expand, but I suspect that the answer is no, I do not. I just need to address the SO’s quibble.
I finally decided that what the story needed was a complete lack of wussing on my part. That combined with two beers (ha!) and the story just popped right out.
I really feel like I’ve got something here.
