Finally! Words! About 3700 words in the last couple days, not all of which are useable, but hey, them’s the breaks. Nearly 3K today, and perhaps after I get done with my walk I’ll go finish up this chapter, which should put me over 3K and will, well, get the first chapter of this here book done. Yay! Words!

It’s better now than it was before I went, so hopefully it’ll just loosen up and be ok by tomorrow. And, um, let’s see, anything else? I haven’t gone for…
