Alrighty. Off again to fish for several days. Until, ahem, something else sets me off. Actually, this is good time for an update: I’m closing in on the halfway point of the book. I’m also ready to write the next chapter, and when I write, I need to descend into the cone of silence.

Did I really just write that I’m at the halfway point? Wow. How did that happen? Seems like only yesterday that I was ready to toss the whole damn thing out the window. Hmmmm. Books happen in mysterious ways.
