Zilli is sitting bolt upright in my lap, ‘helping’ me eat breakfast, which is to say, every time I try to take a bite of cereal (the bowl held precariously in my hand above his head) he sits up even straighter and knocks the bowl with his head in an attempt to create a spill from which he will get All The Milk. Wretched, but funny, kitty. :) Yesterday’s writing tally: turned out I’d only gotten through chapter 4 while Emily was here, so I still had to do 5.…

I got about…5 chapters done, I think, while Emily was here, and that’s about a quarter of the book (technically it’s more than a quarter, as it’s only 18 chapters, but some of those chapters are much longer than others, so there’s more weight later on), and that’s fairly awesome. It leaves me a mere 3 chapters a day to deal with. The cringing part is that that’s a hundred pages a day, which is a lot,…
