No work on the rewrite yesterday, but I did spend a couple hours brainstorming my villain and his motivations, and boy, I'm actually starting to see potential for redemption in him (well, not "all is forgiven" redemption, for he does far too many horrible things to be granted that, but I can definitely see him getting to the end and saying "enough if enough" and might even try to resist helping the big bad on who's behalf he's been doing a lot of these horrible things). I'll do a bit more today then maybe do some writing, or get back to reading my friend's novel (probably the latter, since I think it's coming due soon and I don't want to be scrambling to get it done).

Seriously, though, I'm always annoyed by the fact that in Hollywood movies, people who stray from the True Path, usually by betraying the protagonist, get to die heroically saving the protagonist's life. I think it's high time for betrayers to live with what they've done. Much, much more painful...
All of which I'm not 100% sure should apply to slimeballs (though of course, it's always hard to decide where you should draw the line on slimeballness...).
But it's good to see you're making terrific headway on the outline. I'm looking forward to seeing it!
