Up at 4, racquetball from 5-6:30, grocery shopping at 7, writing by 8. Now that Zombie Cookies is a stand alone novel, the storyline will focus more on Jimmy's ability to remove himself from bullying situations and become less available as a target. I'm thinking more about strategies kids can use when confronted by an aggressive bully who has targeted an individual for abuse. There are a few strategies that can be effective. I'm weaving those into the story without being too heavy handed and also taking a lot of the spy stuff toward the end of the book and pushing it more to the background. I hope to have everything finished by the Monday after Thanksgiving, but that means working every day until then. The days still fly by.
