I spent the weekend letting my changes sink in mentally and playing video games, so today it's back to work, which involves starting over with the first two chapters (I think I'm going to outline the action first, just to make sure I get things straight before starting on the actual writing).

On the book-buying front, I got two new ones this weekend: Letters from Mexico and The Nahualli Animal Oracle. The later comes with a deck of divining cards, and apparently my nahualli is a coyote (perhaps the 3-legged one that I sometimes see in the field behind my house? Having a disable leg certainly hasn't slowed it down.).
