rolanniSpent most of the day in front of the computer, which was more exciting in the doing than the telling, I fear.
I note that Fledgling is now funded through Chapter 15 and about 35% of Chapter 16.

keristor asks, How many more chapters are there to go before it is fully funded?.
That's a reasonable question, and you'd think it would be easy to answer. But -- as we say on the information page -- we don't know how many chapters there will be. We can make an educated guess, based on the number of chapters in past books. That guess (stressing the word guess) is 37.
We did not, at all expect this kind of response. We figured we'd put up the first chapter, and there'd be a period of a few weeks while the donations came in, whereupon we would start the process again. Never in our wildest speculations did we think that we'd have almost half the book funded before we'd even begun.
That's just ... wow.
I discover with delight that there is a Gravity Research Foundation monument somewhere on the campus of my about-to-be day-job. Definitely, I must seek out this thing.
I discover with considerably less delight that the weather for Sunday night into Monday is predicted to be -- well, see for yourselves:
Sunday Night: Snow or sleet likely. Snow and sleet accumulation around an inch. Lows in the lower 20s. Light and variable winds...becoming north around 10 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation 70 percent.
Monday: Snow...possibly mixed with sleet at times. Additional snow accumulation. Highs 25 to 30. Northeast winds around 10 mph in the morning...becoming light and variable. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.
Oh, sure, now we get winter.
Sigh.
