Getting what I wanted to into chapter nine took longer than expected, and I'm still not sure if it works quite right - I imagine that it might take some detailed revisions when I get to that point to make it work for readers with the rest of the story.

Despite what I said last week, I ended up doing my first revision of Charmers this week. I received some very insightful feedback on it early in the week and decided to act on it before it became stale.

Charmers, a little story about symbiotic lucky lizards for March's Elegant Literature contest, is finished, and I'm reasonably pleased with the first draft.

At last, chapter seven is finished. It took longer than I wanted, despite being a shorter chapter, but I think it turned out well.

Kind of a slow writing week this week, so this will be a brief update. I spent a lot of the time that I should have spent on writing reading instead, so I didn't make nearly as much progress as I should have.

Maybe it's doing these weekly updates that causes the months to feel as if they are flying by, because I yet again find myself tempted to remark upon how we are already down to just a week and a half remaining in February. Regardless, here we are with another weekly writing update.

Not every week brings colossal progress, and this week felt slow when it comes to writing. I would be hard-pressed to give you a specific reason for this, but in fairness I did accomplish some work.

I pushed out another five thousand words or so on Impressions this week, putting me a little past halfway on chapter 5.
