Salve Assaph!
When you write a scene and name it "road trip" because you just made life impossible for your characters and they're supposed to do a tactical repositioning to the rear (read: leave town till the heat dies down), BUT one of them flatly refuses and then convinces all the others why staying is a good idea and even comes up with a better way to deal with the issues and you're just sitting there thinking what just happened and now I need to re-plot this thing -- well, that's how you know you're a discovery author, aka a pantser ;-)
On the plus side, the draft for In Victrix is almost finished (I swear). Felix has already been to the sewers, has managed to find an excuse to gate-crash a private club (thankfully not a brothel this time), and despite all my complaints that he's not following the script he has solved the issue practically on the way out with a well-placed knee to the groin.
All that remains is for me to write the bloodbath of a grand finale and kill someone who's been there from the start... But don't worry, I got Scotch and chocolate to deal with it.
Anyway, you're receiving this email because you got on one of the giveaways, have participated in The Protagonist Speaks, contacted Purple Toga or me directly, or generally just enjoy good books and brilliant emails. You can scroll straight down the the unsubscribe link at the bottom, but you'll be missing out on fun stuff.
