[QUOTE="Rodrigo Istalindir, post: 1694493, member: 2810"] Thanks for the comments, Berandor. Good luck in the finals! I really enjoyed doing this. I've always wanted to write, but by the time I get home at the end of the day, it's hard to summon the energy. Hopefully this will get me off my butt and motivate me to keep going. I had a serious case of writer's block this last time, and didn't sit down and start writing until Sunday afternoon. 6 hours straight, and all set to upload, and then I figure I'd better run a word count. Glad I did, since I was quite a bit over the limit. I ended up hacking out two sections. One was a flashback covering the death of Kat's parents, which went a long way to explaining why she turned out the way she did. The other was a section where Kat meets the doomed judge, and provides a (in her mind, anyway) justification for what she did, but also sets up the piano sequence. Re-reading it the morning after I posted, and I was really unhappy at the spackle job I did trying to patch it back together. If I get time this weekend, I think I'll go add them back in and see if I can tighten it up enough to still fit under the limit. And man, did I have the strangest dreams that night.... [/QUOTE]
