I Get Knocked Down, But I Get Up Again

Yes, I like that song.

Despite sensible pleas for sleep, my right brain seems to be at its most inventive in the wee hours. And so I was up at three this morning with aforementioned PaperMate and legal pad, wrestling the beast known as "Stragglers."

The result: a revision switching from first person to third. This allowed me to delineate each character and bring in a conflict that "I" hadn't revealed.

With any luck, editors will see it as well.
