Well, the book still kind of sucks, but I came up with a reason why everything's happening: an evil art auction house.

I had thought maybe developers should be behind it, but I couldn't get it to go along, and couldn't create a consistency. Then I was out raking leaves and I remembered the art auction house people who came out in late May who I guess had some idea that they would seduce us, but were really really bad at it. (a) They got a free tour, (b) didn't even send us a thank-you, until I wrote them to ask about an artifact and (c) I think they thought we had power over the artifacts at Tal.

I thought, hey, having people killed and maimed and art pieces/furnishings being damaged... that could be a reason.

Hey, mda said last night (as I was lamenting my lack of purpose in this book) that I might get an idea while out raking today and whaddya know?

The book still sucks, but.... I'll take any inspiration I can get.

Oh, and there's a word count challenge this weekend so that, and knowning I have to get my shit together, and coming up with a reason behind all the mayhem has meant that I've written just over 4,000 words since last night at 6.

I blame Walmart...and George Bush.

Well, I do have some pretty rich people that show up, based on the people who live around my parents, and there are a lot of GWB supporters around there. There's not a wal-mart, tho, although you never know where wal-mart's going to show up.

Are we talking about an art auction house of ancient, unspeakable evil?
