Back up to 99.2% of target number.  Got to smack around a Commie stool pigeon today, I did.  Had to be careful not to make it too over the top, though.  Hard, but hopefully I managed and that’s what rewrites are for.

Today was a day of filling in some blanks in the past.  Adding to one chapter, fleshing out some vignettes, that sort of thing.  We go on.  Six hundred extra words tomorrow and we’re back on schedule.

Made up a good bit for yesterday’s bye.  Will probably be back on track by Friday, if this keeps up.  And, let’s be honest, I won’t have much else to do this weekend anyway.

I know, I know: poor, poor, pitiful me.  Lots of people have it worse. A lot worse.

Today we got to meet a police captain!  And a couple of hookers!  You don’t have to have hookers in your detective pulp story, but it doesn’t hurt.

PS: I don’t know when the writing schedule will be disrupted by Thanksgiving, but it’s coming.  Particularly because a minor family medical issue requires us to split the party for Thanksgiving itself, with me at home with one of the kids.  But everything will be fine and this is all a self-imposed deadline anyway.

I almost decided to include the several hundred words I put together to actually tie down the plot in today’s total.  But then the exorcism went well.  So I didn’t have to.

Dang thing’s sort of 60% done.  Doesn’t feel like it, but we’re getting there.

Went well today, once I realized that it had been a while since anybody tried to kill our hero.  Resolving that allowed me to bring in all the demonological stuff again, which was nice.  Also to introduce an unpleasant character who will still be useful later.  I might kill him off, though.  Still deciding.

Three and a half hours sleep last night.  It’s a miracle that I can focus.  Chapter 6 is well begun, however.

PS: I am still ahead of my target numbers, mind you.  This is why buffers exist.

Danged if I wasn’t pleased to get a mysterious reveal out and on the screen.  Right after I realized what the mysterious reveal had to be.  The ending of this book is gonna be somewhat different than the ending to the short story, let me tell you.  Which is good, not that the original ending was bad; it’s just not what I need here.
