So, it's errrr, almost there. We have to submit a summary of our Big Bang story and 85% completed rough draft tonight and I just submitted the following:

- Chapter 2, D-Day Minus 11 Months To D-Day Minus 7 Months [complete draft, 8133 words]
- Chapter 3, D-Day Minus 7 Months To D-Day Minus 6 Months [complete draft, 8243 words]
- Chapter 4, D-Day Minus 2 Months [complete draft, 8243 words]
- Chapter 5, D-Day Minus One Month To D-Day Minus One Day [complete draft, 7883 words]
- Chapter 6, D-Day [about 5400 of maybe 10,000 words complete]
I realized that I consistently screwed up my east and west. I feel like more than a beta, I need a proof of concept. Should this be buried to never see the light of day? Darned if I know. I don't like writing so blind.
Here! Have something WAY FAR OUT THERE:
“What is it?” al-Masri asked, hovering, again.
“Rat sent a message personnel.”
“Are you sure it is Rat?”
“It’s too fast and inaccurate to be anyone else. If she’d been captured they would have done it accurately.”

“What does that mean?” al-Masri asked. “Did you set up a fallback code?”
“Yes,” Tebbitt said, standing and grabbing his coat. “Call Tarrant Rushton and tell them we have new intel and are working to decode it. Major Howard will need to know and the glider command. I’ll call RAF Benson and tell photo recon to get another plane in the air and over those bridges.”
“And Rat’s message? What about that?”
“We’re driving to Reading to speak to Crow.”
Also, while I am learning who is uploading user pics, my LJ notifications of new postings are still not working so if you've posted and I've not said anything, it's because I don't know you are out there.
That's about it. Writing writing writing. How are you all doing?
