Better and Better (30,047)

I came up with what I think is a reasonable way to get Janet and Fred together, without using the totally artificial way I was working on last week. It finally fell out of the change in direction I started yesterday and continued this morning and just seems (somewhat) logical. Anyway, we'll go with it for now. At least the story is still moving, even though I've sort of skipped back and forth and ignored some transitions. This will need a lot of fixing on the second draft, but that's to be expected. I really enjoyed the NaNoWriMo encouragement from Neil Gaiman this morning. It's nice to know that established authors still go through many of the same things that we mortal newbies do.
