I got a lot of work done on Magellan's Witch today. I think I got the middle messiness fixed, plus I was looking at this one particular chapter that I realized was headed in a truly awkward direction what with my having materially changed the preceding chapters, plus added a whole new one a while back, and after trying for a bit to fix it as it was, had no success whatever until I told myself that, really, what they were doing made no sense. (Try and say that without taking a breath!) So I changed it around so that it did make sense and it was much, much better. As in, well, to be honest, now it makes sense. Nuff said, huh? Anyhoo, so now I think I can proceed with more paper read through and tomorrow start another fresh.

Meanwhile, I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 tonight. Very entertaining. Just when I thought it was going to start dragging something funny and unexpected would happen. Good movie. Jonnny Depp was wonderful and so was Keith Richards.

To bed.
