And some rearranging and fill-in for chapter 12. Running a smidge long - 10 pages or so - but that's all right. Otherwise on track for story event placement.

A smidge over 2k tonight

It's mostly dialog, in two scenes. One Mindy, one Sean.

But it's almost 3:30 am. Heading to bed.

701 words

Sean finds out that things aren't as peachy as he thought. I'm a happy writer. :)

Muddy burial

Scene was just 841 words, but I'll take them. Heading to bed. :)

Chapter 10

Had to rip out a lot of chapter 9 - ultimately the scene with Sean and the reporter simply didn't work - but I'm now nearly finished with Chapter 10. The narrative is currently 117 pages long and it's about to hit the 1/3 pivot point.

Chapter 9 is FINALLY done!

2284 words.

Happy birthday to me! ;)

11:30 Sunday night

I've been sitting here awhile futzing off, but it's time to get to work. Had an incredibly busy - but nice - weekend that included going to DM with Bill and staying in a hotel, visiting my mom and Bill's dad, shopping for new shirts, my 30 year high school reunion, seeing Brave, a whole pile of errands and - maybe - coming up with a name for the kitten.

I'm thinking Trouble. Because she's ornery. ;)

And, oh, my 48th birthday is tomorrow. :)

Anyway, I'm back onto the last scene in chapter 9, where Sean decides to track down the fungus.

Cover me, Dano, I'm going in!
