News You Can Bruise for 2011 August 4

I started posting about my writing progress on identi.ca, mirrored to Twitter. This is two years after Sumana started using identi.ca, so you know I'm behind the curve.

Anyway, today at work I merged those two characters, and although there are still some rough spots to fix, it was easier than I'd feared. I don't even miss Bruce, which is confirmation for me that he needed to go. Bruce was kind of the novel's straight man, and that's not a position that needs filling. Any given scene needs a straight man, but it doesn't need to be the same person every time.
