The muse and me, a conversation.

Me (yesterday afternoon): the third draft of Dowser 9 is done!
The muse (late last night): Hmm … what about [insert unresolved minor plot point].
Me: Now is not the time to worry about that. I’m trying to fall asleep. Scott (aka the editor) will flag it if it’s an issue.
The muse: it is totally an issue! One we need to spend the next hour fussing and fretting about until you eventually can’t sleep at all.
Me: well …  I could do [insert mention of plot point], then in the final conversation with [name redacted] she could [action redacted]. Or maybe … Oh! What about …
The muse: my work here is done.
 

So yeah, I didn’t sleep terribly well (though that’s not particularly unusual) and I’ll be doing a bit more fiddling with the third draft of Dowser 9 today. 😂
But then!
Then, the book will be ready for story editing.
