Still wibbling over that coat. I probably won’t buy it, but I put it in my shopping basket so I could pretend, precioussss. (And aww, jeez, they have the beautiful geometry skirt in a blue which, if it is accurately represented, is pretty much my favorite shade. But what the bloody hell would I do with a dramatic sateen skirt?) Today was at least nominally a good writing day. I got about 3700 words done, and I think most of them are the right words.

Aw, man, that awesome velvet frock coat is on sale and available in my size. Well, if I was a bit thinner it’d be in my size, anyway. *wants*
I’m baaack!

The result of staying offline today is I got quite a lot of work done. (Go figure. I…

Today I figured out what was wrong with the book! And the best part is, I only have to go back about two and a half chapters to fix it, and most of what I’ve written can be kept, it just needs to be shuffled around and revised a little. It is not impossible that I will finish the book on time! (It’s maybe not likely, because that would be some pretty intensive writing, but it’s not impossible!) The solution? The stakes were, in fact, not high enough. I got…
