Where was I?
Wednesday, November 10th, 2004 09:00 pmRight. Picking nits along chapters 11 through 18. The rewrites are done through 17. Chapter 18, alas, is a wash and I'm starting over from the begining. I may be able to use some stuff from Chapter-18-that-was, but if so it'll be in a Highly Changed state.
Have I mentioned that all this needing to go back and tweak, pinch, and turn is awfully tedious? Hard to build up a head of steam, or feel like I'm accomplishing anything much.
Project: Crystal Dragon
New Words Written: Oh, call it 1,311
Total: 31,576
Goal: To get out of this book alive

On the mundane side of things, we did some much-needed grocery shopping today, and got to hold an SFBC edition of Balance of Trade in our hands, which was Most Cool. Seems that we've re-stocked the larder just in time -- the weather ghods are calling for snow flurries tonight.
Despite cloudy skies, we did have a bit of aurora last night -- pale green sheets rippling down the sky. Sigh...
