I can’t actually put them up, because it’d spoil the story. I skipped ahead to get the ending down, so that I can fill in the blanks. It’s a working strategy, too. I’ll add some stuff from earlier below the fold.

I was feeling blocked, a little, so I’m skipping ahead and writing all the stuff that I’ve already gotten straight in my head. Then I’ll go back and fill the rest in. Which is fine, but it means I’m writing things out of order. So… too many spoilers from today’s wordcount, alas.
Ah, the glamorous life of a writer.
