Book Says “Whozat?”

I knew re-entry to the book itself might be tricky, as despite brief spurts it’s been on hold while the map got done. The spurts, never very long, had gone well, though, and I was hoping that Book would keep in mind that it had not been locked in a closet forgotten. However, Book has its own ideas of how long is too long, and when today I sat down to get back to work on it for a several hour stretch, it ignored me. Hmmm, I thought, and opened this file and that (at this point, in a multi-viewpoint work, the viewpoints are separate files), trying to find a character who was awake, coherent, and doing more than staring into space with a mind full of vague somethings.
