Today, I managed to put on paper a few pointless rambles that would have been best off remaining in a character’s brain.  Then I stuck another character in solitary confinement when he ought to be meeting people and getting the plot moving.  Hard to meet people in solitary confinement.  Another character, the delightful Erasmus Ross, has discovered that he enjoys writing and is overcoming his addiction to cliches.  Hey, don’t laugh.  It’s a big deal for him.
