raefinlayProgress: A LOT on Elisa's Belly
Made-up words: undyed, kitchenmaster (Oddly, Word has no issue with guerra and sancta.)
Barely avoided clichés: I did alright today. But the adverbs come a-creepin'...
The words I'll hate most to cut: The emotion comes so naturally to him, as if the lines around his eyes and mouth settle into sorrow with comfortable familiarity. (or) I'm relieved to note Ximena's long, gray, pin-less braid.
Thank God an editor didn't see this: N/A
Black widows killed: 3 (one in the house)
General thoughts: I'm working on the "slow" part of the book. Holy challenge. Every scene has to be so tense in order to carry its weight. Can we get to the smut and violence already??
