Made it to 46,914 words this evening. Which is good because I'm supposed to be at 46,000 as of midnight tonight, so I'm still (barely) ahead of my quota. Muse is being cantakerous, half "that's a great idea" blended with "that's terrible execution." Still, I have a great, tragic scene where Caprice once again leaves bodies in her wake. She's a regular death machine, Dirty Pair style, all by her little lonesome. She's becoming more visible in my mind, too, which is good because I need her to be more than a mere cipher.

I'm very annoyed at Lulu. I tried to revise Sterlings. I found a few typos (sorry about that) and fixed them, and updated the website with the fixes, and tried to update the content as well. Lulu finally let me do it, but the back cover is now black text on white, rather than white on lavender as in the original. It's glaring and unattractive. I complained to them. Let's see if it works.

You know what I love about my hobby? I have an internal wiki where I keep a random assortment of documents associated with what I write, which means that the directory entries read "Story Ideas," "More Stupid Story Ideas," "Perverse Story Ideas" and "Antiproton-catalyzed Microfission-fusion Propulsion Systems."
