Gratuitous phrase: her icy facade
Type of scene: Getting them to the conflict.
Challenge(s): Beginning to worry about the wordcount at this point.
Which exceedingly long line is it anyways?The organized mayhem of the kitchen paused to take note of the new arrival: pots of green beans boiled unwatched; a clean serving platter slipped back beneath the suds in the sink; sautéed onions began to stick to the pan; toast rounds darkened a shade more than they ought to; pudding commenced curdling; and Will left the carrots he'd been chopping to their own devices as he hurried to Isabel's side.
Other writingy stuff:

penthius freewriting, created writing log, checked wordcounts on previous critters critiques to get an MPC that didn't go through, and worked on Schedule C to claim writerly tax deductions.

I've started getting back Critters critiques of Vicesteed. They all thought it was crap. You'll excuse me; I have to go throw myself off the overpass into oncoming traffic now.
