megwritesWoot! I'm past the 30k mark, which means I'm past the halfway part. I still have a way to go before I'm where I want to do.
But I have learned an important lesson. When in need of words to fill a big hole between plot points, gay sex is always a viable option. In my defense, my characters are married, so it's totally cool. And yes, as far as I'm concerned, same-sex marriage is already a reality. It just doesn't come with tax breaks and property rights yet.
And for the record? Saying that tax breaks and insurance sharing is what validates a marriage and "sanctifies" it is like saying that you can't have a cheeseburger without ketchup and pickles. It's nice to have them, but as long you've got meat, cheese, and buns (don't forget the buns!), it's a goddamn burger and any snotty burger purists can just get a side order of STFU & GTFO with that.
But enough of my political views.

Oh, I'm exhausted. I'd like to get to sleep at a reasonable time sometime this week!
