i got sucked back in anita’s world again. i thought i could put her away, but she keeps calling. i keep seeing her flying down the alleys and actually hitting schmitty when he throws the ball that hits her. i still think i need to pick up the pace a little. the story is starting to drag, and i want to get the ending sooner.

but it’s hard, because i like what’s there so far. i’m having a little bit of a problem killing my darlings so to speak. i want them all to live. i think i need an editor, but i suppose that’s what my classmates are for.

it’s so exciting to be stuck back here again.
