The first sentence I wrote today…

I’ve been a bit slack on these entries, but I have a good excuse: this is opening week for Persephone Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast, so my focus has been pretty much entirely on the show. We had our first show in front of an audience Tuesday (an invited dress rehearsal), then previews Wednesday and last night, plus a school matinee yesterday afternoon (a lot of fun with a show like this; the kids loved it).

Tonight is opening night, which means this afternoon we had our final rehearsal. Which also means that starting tomorrow I’ll have a lot more time free during the day, which is good, because I have writing that needs doing: both Terra Insegura and a nonfiction project that’s behind.

I hope I might be blogging a bit more about other things, too. We’ll see how much energy I have…

Anyway, here’s today’s first sentence (and a too-long, too-convoluted one it is, too), and the current word count:

Aboard the erstwhile Victor Hansen, now once again BPS Sanctification, Andy King hung onto the zero-G webbing lining the walls of the giant cylindrical chamber that had once been a fuel tank but no longer even existed as far as the ship’s computer was concerned, and surveyed his crew.

Current word count: 24,474
Words since last entry: 5,942
Percentage completed: 20.4
