During this morning's writing session I realized I had committed the Writerly Crime of Anachronism. An item playing a major role in the story wasn't invented in at the time it first appears in the story. . Eeek. How did I miss that on my first go-round? Well, there's a teensy asterisk in my notebook that says "research when this was invented"...

So I reviewed the research I'd done earlier, and did a bit more just now to see if an earlier version existed, but nope. So I have thought some less-than-deep thoughts and come up with a simple solution. Whew. So tomorrow I will do a bit of re-imagining on that scene, and add a bit to explain said item's existence in another part of the story.

I'm doubtful about writing or getting to pico posts tomorrow. A busy day ahead. Some work, but mostly play:)
