I sat down with an open novel file and my new Touch last night. Download app, write paragraph. Download app, write paragraph. Right now, I'm sticking with free apps until I figure out what is actually worth purchasing.

The problem struck when I realized No, I really, really, really need an end goal for the last third of the novel. Like. A structure. A plot. A map. I know I had this realization before, but I was kind of writing it all out and planning to go back and structure then, but I am mired. So I can't do that. To move forward, I have to go backward. And basically rewrite this section all over. Not bigly, but somely... Just, need to make sure events happen in the right order, threads don't get lost.

Anyway, as I was settling down with my Brainstormin' Paper, I got mugged by a short story: "Five Rules and One Exception for Commuting to the Underworld."

So I stayed up until 2 AM working on that. And I have absolutely no plot for it, but it is delightful to write. And short. So maybe it can survive without a plot. Or just be literary.

I want to finish this book. Maybe tonight.
