(no subject)

There's bird outside my window. At first, I was all, "Birdie!!! Pretty song!!" Now, it's a loud, repetitive birdie. >:(

In other news, I might be sleepwalking. I've got a fan in my closet entry, so that I don't suffocate when I sleep. I'm pretty sure that last night it was on when I fell asleep. It's been making a little clicking noise, that I once worried was something bad and that it would short circuit while I slept. But then I decided I was crazy, and put up with the soft clicking. I thought I heard it last night as I fell asleep. There's a fair amount of other soft noises in my room, thanks to the aquariums, so I could be wrong. Anyway, I woke up with crud in my lungs and a stuffy head and no fan on. Maybe my subconscious is smarter than me, and I'm getting up to turn off the fan in my sleep.

In which I'm not allowed to be lazy

Last night, as I was falling asleep (listening to the clicky clicky of my fan) I had a D'oh! moment.

There exists in my novel, Character-Around-Whose-Death-the-Climax-Centers. I realized last night that I killed off CAWDtCC a few chapters ago, because I was having trouble writing him and there was another character who did his job better and was more interesting. However, More Interesting Character isn't suited for the ultimate job of CAWDtCC.

So I can't kill off the first guy, but I can shove him aside until later, when he needs to die. But it means I can't be lazy, and I will have to make him an Interesting Character. Because, Dammit, I refuse to kill off characters who aren't Interesting. Where's the fun?
