The Saturday report: progress on several fronts

Saturday update:

I missed the scheduled 9 AM post this morning, what with me sleeping in, reading the new real estate ads, feeding Mozart and us, doing an early stirfry to avoid cooking in the expected afternoon heat, and starting the laundry.

Oh yeah, I’m afraid that in the middle off breakfast I had a Eureka Moment about a piece of the Quicksliver back-story that had become dated because of recent science – and so we may add a bit to a couple of the early chapters or even come up with a prolog, to answer this. Science is wonderful, but sometimes you have to run hard to keep up! Also, Sharon was quite patient about refilling my coffee while I was in the middle of an idea-attack.

Here’s the Chapter Six line at the moment (call it 12 Noon, Saturday, June 28) – and it is a good thing I waited until now because we just got in a $5 donation bringing us up to 66.6% (yeah, 2/3) of the goal. Many thanks for the support!
