Good news. Great news, in fact.
Currently have 34,070 words, and some stiff fingers, but an overall sense of feeling like I got some good crap done in the midst of everything else. I also noticed that my work is getting more paranoid in tone -- there is the subject matter, of course, and then there's...well, recent events. Let's say it's a case of real life bleeding into fiction. At least I got some characters right. I hope.
