I suppose I should update here for the benefit of anyone who doesn't read my livejournal (is there any such person? Or is this blog just one big redundancy?). I'm having a lot of problems with my ISP, and they're preventing me from being online as often as usual. I'm also working a temp assignment all week (and through next Tuesday) in an office that doesn't have outside Internet access. So any kind of updates from me are going to be few and far between for a while yet.

Novel rewrites have, frustratingly, slowed down. I'm totally rewriting a lot more than I thought I would. Everything I wrote in the longhand draft is serving as more of a general outline than something I can transcribe directly. And the job is also slowing down progress on that front, although I did spend most of the slow periods yesterday working out plot kinks in the outline. So it's still coming along. Just not as quickly or smoothly as I'd like it to. But slow progress is better than no progress, right?
