The Beginning Begins Again Again

Anyone who knows me and knows me well knows what I'm talking about when I say:

I finished it. Chapter 1.

It's down, it's rough, and it's finally the opener I was looking for. After hiccupping, restarting, anguishing, and finally thinking I'd never find my opener literally twenty to thirty times, I found it in an old man's goodbye and a lover's lament.

Everything steam-rolls from here.

Just in time for NaNoWriMo, too.
