to X or not to X, that is the question

Things to do tomorrow: dentist. Ugh. Hopefully no issues, but never really enjoyable.

Note to self: remember to drop by local Waterstones bookshop and see if the new Garth Nix and Rick Riordan books are in. That should improve my post-dentist mood, if they are.

Edits continue on book 4. Trying to decide whether to rewrite entire chapter to include character X or not. If I don't, then character X won't have a big role in this book, but then again character X didn't have much of a role in it anyhow. Hm.

"Get out of my way," Irene said. She worked to keep her tone calm and reasonable, but the circumstances and the weather were tipping her temper all the way from mildly irritable to remind me again that homicide is a bad idea because right now it sounds the best possible solution.

Also weigh whether editor will say "actually, X probably shouldn't appear at all, really." Unless X is V or S, in which case a cameo is probably appropriate. >_>

[incandescens]

It's V. I fear that S doesn't even get a cameo in this book. (I'll give him more time in book 5, I promise.)

I think I may just keep on working on later chapters in the book as I think about it. If I decide that emotionally I need V to have some input now, I can put him in later.

*nod* Makes sense!
