Still dragging my way slowly toward the end of story 3.
Made some good progress during lunch when I let go of some of the requirements.
Funny thing, as soon as I give up some of the control it ends up coming out the way I was forcing so hard anyway.
Very odd. Hopefully I can report that story 3 is in the hopper tonight...
UPDATE 8:10pm: Finally reached the end of story 3. What a total piece of crap. I've got lots of work to do to make it salable... heh, readable...
