60K+ Reordered many many chapters, wrote a new one, added a lot. Mostly, it was front-loading the story into the country. Heck, maybe they won't go to London at all, ok that's probably too drastic but London will be on the downslide to the end, I believe, which I don't even really know what it will be yet. Also, I wrote a part where there wasn't much happening, but I got it deleted pretty quickly in favor of stuff that does happen Repeat after me - no transition scenes. Only transition sentences. Repeat this, too: do not write a scene that doesn't advance the plot AND the characters' romance. Both, dammit! At any rate, the story's not settled in yet, and some stuff is not quite right, but on the whole, since I had today off, I got a lot done. Am well behind in reading for school. GML is a steamy hunk and I want to --- Umm, better not be quite that frank.
