News: Nightly Update 06/24/2009

I took a sick day today. I did however, watch the US soccer team beat Spain (an amazing game that I'm glad I watched, even though sports-viewing isn't particularly my cuppa). I also beat Fallout 3, and I wrote through my nearly incapacitating coughing fits. I managing nearly a little over 2k words between gulps of iced tea and ibuprophen breaks. That puts my total count at a hair's breadth from 30k, and the story's just starting to rev up now. Alright!

The entireity of that is Chapter 12 stuff. I think I'm about halfway through were I want to be in this chapter. There's a fair amount of exposition in this one but I'd like to think it's at least *tasteful* exposition.

Anyway, making Ophelia older and part of Caravan just completely saved my ass, as I reached a part of the chapter that I had no idea how I was going to resolve. Then she showed up and saved the day. Thanks, Ophelia, you're a lot more awesome now!

More tomorrow, than a break on Friday for some more social story-craft. This weekend I'll really sink my teeth into Wayside. Om nom nom.
