There should have been a sixth thing yesterday

which is, thank you all very much for the good wishes and congratulations and commiserations about this complicated moment in my publishing career. It helps a lot to be reminded that actual readers do want my next book.

Got to 60,000 words yesterday; already at 60,500 today. Excelsior!
