Yesterday, I felt buoyant, so happy to be working on Monster Belt again. And today, I have that bursting feeling in my chest as the darker side of the book surfaces. These monsters are pesky things. One minute, you're rising to the challenge, the next, they seep inside and drain the tears out of your eyes. Or it feels like that, only no tears fall. You end up not knowing what's real or not. As I said, pesky things.
