Just over 155,000 words.    I have another two days and then the copy edits should be here.   The more I can get done before they arrive, the better, but it’s almost 1 am and I have to sleep…

The plot bomb is now written out; the scene I needed research for is done, and some after-scene scenes as well.   In addition, the stuff 100 pages back is done, all the ends tucked in (well, for now) and all the on-the-spot-thought processes tidied away (thanks to Mr. Delete Button.)

Incidentally, we had a record high today (well what today was in the daytime, not today-by-the-clock) and the day before, and are expected to make a record again tomorrow (today-by-the-clock.)  Yes, it’s been well over 100F and no, we don’t like it.  Nothing likes it.

Not an easy day’s work but a successful one.

A small plot bomb exploded today and showered plot-fragments all over this end of the book.

I’m not through writing out the whole plot-bomb, but it’s definitely lively.   (This plot bomb came with a research assignment…”Check with D about the performance of this weapon…”)

There was a good guy and a bad guy.
