Working it Out

I'm working out the mechanical details of a story.

In the meantime, I'm going to have another one of these.

At left, a cafe au lait that Tim Boyd from Brooklyn shares with us through wikicommons. The perfect color, too.

I'm writing a cheerful happy fellow whose wife has left him and whose existence in a small county is endangered by the occurrence of a murder with few clues.

That's right. I said a happy fellow.

Who knew? I'm trying something new and a protagonist who is happiest in the throes of mayhem and murder? Well, Fits - doesn't it?

Whistle while you work. The coffee's too hot still, anyway.
