Whew.

Even when done just for fun, this writing malarkey can be hard work. can't it? Being out of practice doesn't help.

Thanks to a kick in the ass from dungeoneer, the secondary-plot pixies came by this evening and sprinkled their magic dust all over the outline. It's 'only' six more scenes, but that's a net increase of 40% and another 15 minutes running time, I think. My guesstimate is that the finished script will come in between 40 and 45 minutes and I'm quite happy with that.

B plots rock.

More to the point, Rull matters, Iago has an opportunity to be a rat bastard (and he's nothing without that, y'know?) and I made myself write something I never thought I'd have the nerve to write. Oh, it's nothing icky, dear reader. I'm just sometimes a bit too respectful of the sacred cows, dig? So I had to make hamburger...

And now, I'm going to faceplant for eight hours. As said before: whew.
