I did the foolish, rookie thing and let it throw me off my concentration for a few hours during my prime early morning writing time. Childish error on my part.
Early into this project I posted a Blog entry explaining the how, what and why of what I'm doing; it's still there. Go read it.
More Cowbell! Constant calls for more cowbell, suggestions of better ways for me to write the story. I even have people wanting me to put down what folks said and what they meant when they said it. More cowbell.
Now when I have my summer parties the guys will all gather at one fire and tell their stories and they sound a lot like what I'm doing here. The ladies have their own fire and they relate their stories by reciting word for word exactly what was said and the emotional impact of it even if the event was two decades ago. The ladies have a lot more cowbell in their stories, we have a lot more laughter in ours.
Well look, that's enough bellyaching from me. I'm going to get back to discovering what Night Terrors stalk our intrepid PTSD enhanced hero and see what his solution is to getting back home with an infected wound in his ass cheek. I have the rest of the fever terror interlude to write as well as the daily full chapter which will still be published.
