I'm in the middle of writing the intimate scene in Chapter 16 so, of course, I'm getting bombarded by interruptions.

I finished up Chapter 16 somehow last night. That puts me at 95k words. Chapter 17 will be a short one so maybe tonight I can crank it out. Chapter 18 should be fun to write it will be the only chapter in which to story is told from the perspective of the most interesting character in the story.

Because books.
Great progress, Gud.
Although I will say, it's cracking me up that you refer to it as an "intimate scene." I say that with love, though. And ... as someone who is pretty blase about writing what I fondly call straight-up smut.

It really wasn't all that smutty. The other one in the book needs to be rewritten and will probably get smuttier.

I've also now added a new layer to backing up my work. Every time I work on it I follow by backing it up to my network drive which is a redundant array. Now I'm taking to e-mailing my gmail account with everything attached. Word processor files are so wonderfully small.

Emailed attachments are smart. You can also create Googledocs, too.

Got it, -t. I'm probably going to read later this afternoon, early evening, after errandage.
