Another very SFfish sentence to start with today, what with a cycling airlock and a laser pistol, to boot.
Changed directions in mid-scene today and had to go back and add a couple of paragraphs to a previous (my typo-prone blogging fingers originally wrote “precious,” but fortunately, it wasn’t) scene to set up what I wanted to do. So again, I actually wrote more words than this, but I dumped a bunch of them.
Good progress, anyway!
Oh, and a new milestone: the properly formatted version of the book in Word now runs over 400 manuscript pages. I think that’s a personal length record.
Not that longer is necessarily better, even though about half the spam I receive would have you think otherwise.
