    <content type="html">Well, it's about time we got our winter rain! We'd normally be getting these downpours around this time of year, but it's been dry and &lt;em&gt;cold&lt;/em&gt; the last several weeks instead.&amp;nbsp;Per the forecast it's supposed to be like this for the next several days. [Which is good, because we've been bad and haven't visited the garden lately.] The downside being that all this humidity is probably going to give me a migraine. Bleh! This rain of course will also bring out all the terrible drivers, as I've already witnessed on my brief trip to the Ace to buy a few things this morning...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the new direction I came up with for a secondary character in Theadia seems to have been a really good idea, as I'm having a much easier time writing the scenes now. I'm always fascinated when I manage to work out a troublesome issue with a story with a surprisingly easy answer! Just goes to show that I should continue to trust my writer instincts instead of trying to force something that may or may not work. I just need to keep working at it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1083808" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
