I think plot is what characters do, and I want to set them free to do it. So I also do a lot of going back to tidy up. But the fun of the Challenge is that you CAN'T, and the people who have written chapters so far all say they're having a terrific time and blowing out the pipes as they do so.<BR/><BR/>Of course, we're all going to come face to face with terror sooner or later.<BR/><BR/>Probably sooner.<BR/><BR/>Tim HallinanTimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00551263887774445511noreply@blogger.com
