I had a thought this morning. The only really good parts of this novel so far are the flashbacks about Glorfindel. Why not scrap the rest, and jump back and tell this as a pre-Unforgettable story instead of a post-Unforgettable story?

And then, I was thinking about it, and really this novel is about letting go (though temporarily). Just as Erestor is having trouble moving forward after Glorfindel's death, I'm having trouble moving a story forward without him -- so much so, I keep writing flashbacks.

Still not sure where I'm going with things on this. Hopefully I'll be at 25K tonight, one way or another.

still haven't budged from 22099...

I know the problem! I was facing the same, then I simply moved ahead in the story, occasionally going back to fill in the middle. I don't think they read it, do they? At least my spelling is checked LOL. ****GO******ZHIE*******

I understand this. Galadriel's in my story because I don't have the energy to argue with her. How about telling him they have a two week supply of caramel cheesecake with strawberry topping in Mandos? He's blond, he might buy it (I never said that *hides*)
