After bouncing ideas off of my sister over the telephone until her mind was probably numb, I have finally worked out the glitch in my plotlines for "Metrognomes II." Excited as all get out, I began the outline anew. I am much more excited about this one than I was. I was always excited about certain parts of this one, but I was mostly worried, because I couldn't figure out how to keep my two central characters busy, considering all the interesting subplots. Now I have it, and if not for school and work, I'm sure I'd have the outline finished within the week!
