9/23/04: Back out into the cold

Sent Jason out into the cold of a Trenton, New Jersey night, but it's a good thing in this case. I think that everything I've written so far in this chapter is fundamentally necessary but too long -- over 3000 words so far and I'm only 1/3 through my outline for the chapter. I just don't think what I've written so far is worth that many words. With any luck I'll get a chance to trim it back before I send the chapter to critique.

I'm also feeling a little achy and a little scratchy in the throat. Man, I hope I'm not getting sick again. I was only mildly ill after the Worldcon, but that was too much and it was only a couple weeks ago. Taking my vitamins and going to bed now.
