Able to breathe life into a stone.

So for the past 36 hours or so I've been making slow, painful progress on my NaNovel. I reread the last chapter (about fourteen pages) to refresh my memory, and I was quite proud of the above-average writing I'd done in the waning hours of November. But then I had to go back even further to make sure I was going to tie up all the right loose ends, and the writing wasn't so good. I had definitely gotten into the swing of things during NaNoWriMo. Now, all I've got to do is get that groove back.
