Today's word I didn't know before is unasinous, which is not appearing in any online dictionaries for me, but apparently (according to my local newspaper) means "equally stupid".
I like this word. I plan to use it at the first available opportunity, preferably one that also involves the chance to get a nice, scornful twist in my lip as I do so. I may even throw in a disdainful sniff. We'll have to see how it plays.
Serendipitously, this word rather aptly describes every possible direction I can currently think of for the faerie novel. I suspect this feeling is caused in no small part by the suspicion that every single word I have written over the past three days is nothing but backstory, and painfully dull expositiony backstory that has no fate except to be cut at that.
I tell you, the dreaded middle-novel-blahs is lasting a long time on this one.
Clearly, it's time for something (or someone?) to explode.

Always good advice.
Blow it up, Deborah. Let's see where the pieces fall.
Exactly! There hasn't been nearly enough death in this book, and not a single explosion. I mean, call myself a writer!
