Sorta-daily NaNo update:

I’ve made peace with the fact that this isn’t going to be done on the 22nd.  Just when I think I’ve narrowed down the plotlines, more stuff keeps happening.  I knew the 22nd was a very ambitious goal, and it was more for myself than anything else–would have been nice to have finished it on my hero’s bday, but I know now the important thing is to focus on getting it done right, with the final product being something worthy of being dedicated to him.

That being said, the story itself is progressing beautifully!  Lionheart and Kid are progressing with trying to solve the mystery at hand.  They’re also trying to remain incognito since Lionheart’s father is after them, so they’re trying to pass themselves off as an entertainment duo rather than vigilantes and are trying to draw more customers to the Moonlit Gulch Saloon & Inn–

Kid couldn’t help but snark as
Lionheart made his way over, balancing a precarious stack of Shakespeare plays.

“Lionheart, we’re only going to be
entertaining during dinner hours,” Kid said, staring at the stack.  “We’re not going to be doing an all-night
festival!”

“You know, I wonder how many we
could get to come to that if we did,” Lionheart wondered aloud.
