All righty then.

I'm not quite sure how I got William Gibson, but I'm cool with it.
About 2,000 words yesterday, making 3 days in a row that I've hit or exceeded my quota--not too shabby. I've managed to work myself back around to where I want to write EE because I want to read it. It isn't the only possible motivation to keep oneself slogging through the middle of the book, but it's one of the better ones.
I've also managed, despite obstruction from both WordPerfect and Windows, to get my macros imported from WP10 to WP12, which I am using on a trial basis with intent to buy.* When you've been fool enough to invent a language that uses a great many diacritical marks, customized kestroke macros are more important than you might otherwise believe.

*No, I don't want to hear about other word processors and how they don't suck as much as WP. I use WP because it does a specific thing that I need, and no other word processor does. Despite Corel's genius for shooting themselves in the goddamn foot, I'm sticking with them until either the ship goes down or they "improve" WP to the point that it doesn't do what I need anymore.
