Really cannot sleep any longer, but am tired, headachy, unable to concentrate. Can't do academic reading--I finish a page and discover I've been woolgathering for half of it. Lead bones, especially in my hands.
Despite this, however, I have manged to write the new scene for Ch. 8. Not that there's much of it, and not that it's much of a scene, but I think it does some of the stuff that needs to happen. More will have to come in Ch. 9. I'm allergic to infodumps. Sometimes this leads to me forgetting to tell readers things they really ought to be allowed to know (or not realizing that just because it's perfectly obvious to me does not mean that I can expect anyone else to pick up on it), but in general I consider it's a virtue that is worth its vices.
I may actually finish editing Ch. 8 today. Go Team Me.
