Got a start on 47. This is a complete rewrite part so it's going a bit slower.

Dug a little further into 47. I hope to get a bit of time this weekend and maybe get it done.

47 is almost done, I need to do a read-through. I started skipping the read-through, but with 45 and 46 I got back to doing it and found lots of little stuff to fix, so it's back.

I'm digging into 48 now, but I'm falling a bit behind plan on where I'd like to be in the plot at this point. Nothing new there. There's a lot of little things that need to happen and working them all in can be tough at times.

I'm 1,000 words into 48. The characters are back where everything started now. Well, not exactly where everything started, but close to it.

I think I scraped most of it out of my head and back onto the page this afternoon.

Hooray for that short-term recall, for it is handy when the computer dies.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

So instead of arcs, they have helices?

Yes, all my characters have helices, not arcs. It's like their DNA.

/ snark. Heh.

Pretty much, it's back to chapter 3 instead of chapter 1, but that's pretty close.

I crawling through 48 right now as I'm trying to work stuff in. Things should get better when I hit the end of 48 to beginning of 49.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

My book review was accepted for publication! This, my first academic piece in a real journal, will probably be published in June. I am very pleased. Now to do something with the section of my dissertation that I want to try to publish. It's basically a lit review, which is boring in its current form. It makes good arguments from the literature it reviews, though, so it's worth me trying to find a way to keep it literature-focused. Hmm.
