It's not laziness, I swear...
I've somehow managed to cut a chapter from my outline. While I was sitting in my car last night and waiting for roadside rescue, I was thinking about the timeline of the final events of the novel. I'd had it stretched out over days or weeks, but one of the characters, literally, in dialogue I wrote just yesterday said, "I want X finished by tomorrow night." I thought about throwing some obstacles in his path, but he's stubborn little feline, so I figured it would be a waste of time. So, I changed the timeline. I think that'll give the whole climax of the novel faster pacing. Plus, well, it'll probably leave me with less to write. I'm not complaining too loud about that either.
I spent most of the morning figuring this out. I'm thinking I should probably spend at least a little time actually writing now. :P
