Xia's going well enough. The last 2-3 days I've been doing my first Big Adjustment to the story. Things were getting pretty messy but I think I've got myself straightened out. Although it's not much fun when I realize I need to re-align -- because it's a lot of work that doesn't necessary increase the page count -- It's also important to go through it. For me anyway. Otherwise, the story continues to suck. All of which means things are on track.
And as the reaction of the crowd to my questions showed, no one wants AT&T rifling around in their communications. The only way to stop them from doing so is to speak up whenever we have the chance

Today, I almost didn't write. I thought of a bazillion things I need to do instead. But I was strong. And panicky. It is a sad fact that novels do not write themselves. They do not magically appear in your word processor ready to go, all but for a little polishing. Drats. You have to put the words there yourself, one-at-a-painful-time. And when they don't seem much like the wonderful words you imagined before you sat down to write, you have to suck it up and keep writing so that, eventually, you have enough words to edit into something. I really hate this part. Passionately. I would rather clean my room than write brand spanking new novel-words. But I was strong. My room is not clean (but must be by 7:15 am Wednesday, alas).
