I've managed to break fifty pages (and then some -- the book is currently at sixty-one pages), introduce pretty much all my major characters and supporting family members, work in several scenes involving hyperactive religious mice, and drop Verity off several buildings. (This statement is not really a spoiler, as dropping Verity off buildings is currently one of my favorite occupations. It's soothing.)
My mother thinks this series may be the best thing I've ever come up with. I blame this on the fact that she's a huge fan of several reality-based dance competitions, and I use a reality-based dance competition in the series. (Book five is actually set at a reunion of the cast from Verity's year. Yeah, it's already acquired a book five. Don't look at me like that.)
Next up, I start beating people about the head and shoulders with plot, and probably throw Verity off a few more buildings. Life is good.

Right now, I'm focusing largely on Toby, but since I've turned in the first three books in her series, 'focusing on' mostly means I sit here, write other books, and prepare for the raw hysteria of Rosemary and Rue hitting shelves.
