Weekly writing update

[ellarien]

Another week when I got the bulk of my words on Sunday night. This time I got them on the Eee, which was at least less hard on my wonky knee than the eight-pound Behemoth laptop.

(It turns out that OpenOffice won't divulge the wordcount until I change the file. Also, its wordcounts don't quite agree with the Word ones. Still, it does the job. (And offers translation from traditional to simplified Chinese, and back. There's also a Chinese/English/Chinese dictionary app included, with menus mostly in Chinese.)

Don't ask where the story's going. I'm trying to shore up the foundations at the moment, which mostly seems to involve a lot of as-you-know-Bob conversations that will -- I hope -- get cut once I extract from them the stuff I need to know and didn't until I let the characters talk about it.)
