T-37 and counting

New words: 350

Not enough, obviously, but I did also get the minimum necessary continuity done in Chapters Seven through Fourteen so that the new scene looks like it was really there all along. Also, I found and fixed another glitch caused simply by the pace at which I'm writing. I forget what I've written and implement a second explanation for something that already had a (far superior) explanation. Also at least one place where I'd typed the name of one character while clearly meaning someone else.* It's a little embarrassing, but better to catch it when I'm the only one who knows.

And tomorrow, we can forge ahead unimpeded.

*The worst example of that, in my personal history, is a European history test in twelfth grade, where every time I meant Hobbes I wrote Locke, and vice versa.

...where every time I meant Hobbes I wrote Locke, and vice versa.

Ouch.

I once met an English lecturer, who claimed to have found herself lecturing about "Locke's Rape of the Pope."

The worst thing I've corrected so far in this book was one scene where I kept using the same name for both of the protag's lovers. Even in the bits where she was comparing their behavior recently. "Unlike X, he had done this-and-that. X had done thus-and-such instead." BUH? Brain! Stay with me here, brain!

Even if that isn't true, it should be.
