Those of you who know anything about me will not be surprised to hear I’m having compulsive hair disorder symptoms again. For once, amazingly enough, I can pretty definitively say this is not a result of being unhappy with either my weight or my book, which are the usual two triggers. I’m just bloody tired of my hair. Or, more accurately, of the style it’s currently cut in. This may be because it’s not cut in much of a style at all. It also has a bit to do with…
cat exploded!
It turned out to be a cat exploded kind of writing day. I didn’t quite write two full chapters (more like 1.75), but I got 4200 words done, hit page 250, and am stopping in the middle of a fight/chase scene that’ll be easy to pick up tomorrow. Page 250 is something of a landmark page.

Ten years ago, maybe, but in today’s political climate, nope. Has to be somewhere else. Possibly somewhere civilians can get injured. :) Trying to convince myself I’m not actually STARVING MEOW MEOW…
early morning chance update
Very, *very* early morning where most of you are. The roughs for the final four pages of Chance… If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a scrapbook with all the pages, which can be viewed at a larger sizes, here. Hm.
