An unexpected bonus

[Sealurk]

Elite: Dangerous - top notch space trading and combat simulator game, and now... writing aid?

I'm currently undertaking a long rares run for a bit of a change of pace and the continuing need to make money (do I buy my Python or upgrade my FAS? Decisions decisions...), but forgot just how boring they can be while waiting for a rare good to respawn to max out my allocation. I have never known any rare good take so long as this particular batch of Orrerian Vicious Brew - evidently the Code are interfering with the supply lines in their own station. At one point I think it took me twenty minutes to get 2t of OVB.

Anyway, the point is that this gave me a lot of time to wait, think and daydream... at which point I solved a writing problem that has been plaguing me for months, i.e. the motivation and goal of the antagonists in one of my novels. I'm not going to share it with you I'm afraid - mainly because it's the big revelation/twist of the novel!

Of course, as a result of this breakthrough I might be looking for proof readers sooner rather than later...
