Flowing Towards the Finish Line

41,725 words as of this writing. I definitely don't like the midnight cutoff date for word count. I just get started in the afternoon, and by the time midnight rolls around I'm just starting to cook with gas. Yesterday I had a record (for this year) 4,389 words. But, by my calculations, that's not including the 1,200 words I've written since midnight. I guess it's going to be a 7,000 word night for me, but hacked into pieces by the vagaries of their weird, human diurnal patterns.

Whatever. Jane's reminiscences are gems for me. And Iris' character is certainly, ah, perking up as the story, or at least the scenes, unfold.
