I misunderstood the due date for the Daredevil Secret Santa exchange -- it was meant to be midnight as Monday became Tuesday, and I thought it was midnight as Tuesday becomes Wednesday -- but fortunately I seem not to have been the only person who did this? Anyway, there is an extended deadline until midnight tonight for those who need it.
I need it. (My bad habit of writing down to deadlines continues. *sigh*)
This story is going to need so much editing once I'm finished, because I am cheerfully handwaving a whole bunch of details I know are probably wrong in their current form; also, my perennial problem with scenes taking place between faceless mannequins on blank white paper is out in full force. But it's a lot easier to edit a story that exists than to spin it into existence in the first place, so.
This may end up being the longest thing I've written all year -- and that's even counting the last five chapters of "The Courting Dance" that I finished this summer. I probably should not have attempted anything this ambitious on a tight deadline, but eh. What is life without challenges?
...
I think I'll have to skip tonight's solstice service, though, unless I make really good progress in the next two hours. I will need that time for writing.
