Just a line or two for your amusement...

...one fo the search phrases that has led people to my website appears to be "cartoon goldfish".

Uh, yeah. Okay.

In other news, three chapters into Part the Second, the entire work currently standing at approximately 120 000 words. If I am correct in my estimate, the things I need to fit into this section will require a minimum of five further chapters to contain them - quite possibly six or seven, depending on how things pan out. That would mean that I still have, oh, 25 000 to 35 000 words or so to go - IN THIS SECTION - which would bring the book to roughly 140 000 - 150 000 words.

And then there's Part the Third to come.

Yike.

Work to do. Excuse me. Another chapter or even two will come home to roost this week. Off to get more coffee, and then back to the story...

Update -

- make that FOUR chapters of Part the Second, just finished tweaking another chapter, I wrote and polished up a WHOLE CHAPTER today, damn near 5500 words. And it's a pretty pivotal chapter, and it works.

Am pleased.

Can sleep well tonight. Did a good day's worth of work.

(Oh, and apropos of nothing my pair of kittehs just double-teamed, cornered, and *ate* a very large spider which had found its way into my study. Good cats. Treats and rewards upstairs in a moment, both of you.)
