Slogging. Working on the novel at the speed-of-slog. This is the sound that working on the novel makes: Ssssllllaaaaaawwwwwwgck. (That little "ck" at the end is the inevitable death rattle I'm sure is waiting for me just around the corner.) But there has been Progress. Chapter 10 has moved on from the point where Brian lays eyes on Mike, and has reached a point where they have actually exchanged words. See? Progress!

I put a post up at Denever CityScene this morning. Go me. Not three hours later, I think, I'd received an informative little email telling me about this. Hurrah, I've wandered into the middle of Controversy! What, didn't you know that was one of my super powers? Anyway, the jury's out on whether any wrong-doing is actually in the offing, or if maybe we're just dealing with a really clumsy attempt to generate web traffic. I don't plan on doing anything rash until more is known.

Tomorrow: More slogging, with dust bunnies!
