I finished a chapter! Part of it was stitched in from the last draft, but by George, a chapter! Yay! I think I’m aiming for a chapter a day, realistically. I’m not going to have the book done by the time gets here at that rate, since it’s probably about 35 chapters and I’ve only just finished chapter 7, and she’ll be here in 18 days. I’m deeply trepidatious about leaving it alone the whole week she’s here, so I’ll probably have to get up and work on it in…

largely meaningless update
I know something really, insanely cool that has nothing to do with me, but if it happens I am going to positively die of the squee. And yes, I am saying this just to torture you all.

And that is all I can say, except hoo *boy* do you want to buy this book the day it comes out. :) I’m going to go read another book now. Reading is fun! *beams*
random things
I’ve somehow been plodding through bits of … work-related things … (and hundreds of LJ posts) instead of reading either CIVIL WAR or EMPIRE OF IVORY. Guess I’ll read those in the morning.
