That Was Easy

As I noted in a previous post, I was having trouble getting past little speedbump in the novel. I had allowed myself to get off on a tangent, and the more I did it the less I liked it. So I yanked it out, dumped it into a file I call "Rough Cuts," and went back to where I started. I lost about five pages in the process, but I'm back on track, and I feel better already.
