Got out of that one lightly

[skyring]

Got mildly purple with Squirty Bertie. Easy to get carried away with sex, but a light touch is probably best. Everyone knows what I'm talking about, yeah? I don't need to spell it out.

I think i managed to avoid schmaltz with the farewell scene. Distracting the reader with sex and romance.

There's another difficult scene coming up when Dee drops into the Dream Cafe. I still have no idea why she hasn't shown up in a year. I'm sure I'll think of something.

Likewise Albert and Angela. What happens to them? it's kind of crucial, but I've still got only the dimmest notion of how it's going to happen.

I've got thirty two hours left and 26 600 words to write. And I think my brain has stopped working. I'm not sure this is going to happen. Thank goodness for Manlyreader the recycled lawyer. He's going to have to carry the story on the doomed plunge downhill.

More sex! Less schmaltz! Can't wait to read it! ;)

Humph! I do better with innuendo. There's a lady at the end of Chapter 13 removing her clothing. You might think that there's some hot steamy stuff coming.

Well, probably not, not unless I get really wacky in Chapter 16. But I can leave everyone waiting and panting for the intervening chapters. They are so imagining what is coming and fantasising in glorious pink detail that I don't need to actually write anything.

Pete, aiming for a family market.
