And here’s where the outline kind of breaks down, because I’ve covered the two things supposed to happen in this chapter and there’s only four or five pages. Each chapter covers one month, though, so I can’t just skip to the next chapter. Hurrah for character development and exploring relationships and Talking About The Mistake The Protagonist Made A Few Chapters Back and What She Has Learned From It.

I didn’t think I’d get anything done today, because I had to work on a freelance evaluation. It was done by two-thirty, though, and the second one that arrived in my inbox yesterday (argh!) is very short and isn’t due till next Tuesday, so I have time in which to spread things out nicely. I was worried I’d have to devote this whole week to freelance and lose all my momentum on my own work. Not to be the case, oh joy!

To my deep stun, I have written 17,695 new words in Orchestrated this month so far. I’m really pushing to get it finished by the end of the month so I can work on my list of agents to query with the as-of-yet-unwritten query letter next month. (At least I have my two-paragraph synopsis for the letter!)

Orchestra tonight. Not in the headspace.
