1975 words today on TPEMB. I'm not happy with the way this chapter ends -- it's not as strong or sharp as it should be -- but the bones are there. I know the characters, I know where things need to happen, and why. And everything that leads up to it is, methinks, not only strong but good. I need to let the last scene sit for a few hours, then go back and reread it, figure out what works and what doesn't, and then draw out the strong and pare back the weak.

Either way, three chapters done, and (I hope) headed in the right direction. I feel pretty good about the past day's work, even with the iffy ending -- the world is coming together for me, and the characters are humming in my ear. And details are appearing that weren't in the outline, which is always a good sign...
