Word count: 46670 | Since last entry: 1037 | This month: 9204 A difficult scene tonight: Clarity flashes back to her break-up with Jason, and the long-buried (too-long-buried) secret of what happened at Cedar Point is revealed. Didn’t go into a lot of detail, and left some questions open about exactly what Clarity knew and when she knew it. The scene also has a lot of parallels with Jason’s flashback on how he and Clarity met. This is deliberate, but is it too heavy-handed? This flashback actually goes with the revised Prologue I discussed with Jim and Sara at OryCon, though it doesn’t contradict anything in the current draft. I’m also making a few changes in the Taurans’ behavior based on previous critiques, something I said I wouldn’t do, but the changes are fairly minor. I’m very tired. Didn’t sleep well last night. Also spent some of this evening sweeping snow off the walk. Snow! I might be stuck at home tomorrow…
