Words: 3,104.<br />Total words: 11,242.<br />Reason for stopping: I am out of go. Time to watch <i>Eureka</i>.<br />The cats: Alice, eating; Lilly, washing her toes; Thomas, elsewhere.<br />Music: random shuffle, lots of Jill Tracy.<br /><br />So I didn't quite finish chapter three, but as I have left absolutely no time for the poor Machete Squad to cope with things, I'm okay with that. I have a very ambitious word count schedule for the rest of the week, largely because I'm going out of town for the weekend to attend a memorial, and I'd like to have things ready before I depart. This way, I figure I can send lots of files to be reviewed, and come home to lots of things to correct. Thus is the circle of authorial life maintained.<br /><br />I'm still getting comfortable inside this book (although it took like six words for me to get comfortable inside of Toby's head, because I've been living there for so long that it's practically my second address). I'll be hitting the main plot soon, and in the meantime, I'm trying to work the exposition and reminders into the text in an organic way. It's fun! And brain-bending.<br /><br />And that is why I am now going to go and watch television. A girl's got to get her recovery somewhere, right? Right.
