Now that was nice. Got up early, pieced together most of a new chapter (only six more to go after this one!), and hit the 250-page mark. And even better, all the various plotlines and threads I threw out there over the course of the opening 249 pages are coming together in crazy-quilt fashion.

Maybe I just had to take some pressure off by extending my self-imposed deadline.

Or maybe it was just getting a good night's sleep, I dunno.

In any case, I'm out of here so I can get into work early and leave early to close on the new house! Woo hoo!

Here's the wordage -- at 70% now. Nice!

56,200 / 80,000 (70.3%)

Later.
