Best of luck with it! I'm trying to wrap up the current very talky bit so I can move on to a nice batch of action. For some reason, I seem to be able to deal with action sequences . . . I have no idea why, but I'm glad of it.

Myev, there's a truly delicious book out there, titled "Spunk and Bite". My favourite chapter in it is "How to Loot a Thesaurus".

I will endeavor to track this book down. Sounds like my kinda fun!

Oh, it is! Did you ever have Strunk and White inflicted upon you? Spunk and Bite is the antidote to Strunk and White, and the whole tired business of aiming writing at the lowest common denominator. It basically encourages you to break rules, and gives you examples of what rules to break, when, where, why, and with how much glee.
