Greetings, Program

I don’t care how geeky it makes me, I’m going to be seeing this opening weekend. πŸ˜€

And I love the new version of the recognizer. It’s my current desktop wallpaper.

Chapter o’ Doom

Chapter fourteen was a monster. Really, really tricky to write–in part because the entire chapter is more or less one long conversation with a lot of plot points revealed. (And no, it’s not a Scooby-Doo-esque "the villain taunts and reveals all" scene. The villain’s not even in it. πŸ˜› ) But it was a raving pain the ass to write.

Three to go

Thirteen chapters down, with… Well, see the subject line.

It’s a short chapter–shortest in the book, in fact. As to whether that proves a problem, guess we’ll see what the next chapters look like.

Almost there… or Am I?

I’m pretty much precisely on course here. Twelve out of sixteen chapters is 75%, and I’ve got 76% by word count.

Which would be great, if I didn’t have a number of short chapters ahead of me. I was actually hoping to be ahead on word count by now. 😳

Well, we’ll see. Not like it’s a disaster if I don’t come in precisely where I wanted, long as it’s not too far off…

Um, ow?

How, exactly, did I manage to screw up my ankle on a damn in-home pedal exerciser?! That’s like cutting yourself on a freaking pretzel!

Oh, wait. I’ve done that. πŸ˜•Β  (Drew blood and everything, and yes, I have witnesses.)

Still shouldn’t have happened, damn it. It’s not like 20 minutes on a pedal exerciser is precisely an intense, injury-prone workout. πŸ˜›
