I have finished laying out chapter 10--there are 19 chapters all told, so I'm a little more than halfway through. Oy. There's a reason they have to pay people to do this; my eyes are feeling decidedly crossed.

Oh, and more evidence that I can't spell: I realized the other day that I spelled lightning "lightening" here, and then I realized today that I spelled it that way in Trang--yoikes, how embarrassing. I've uploaded corrected versions already. That's just aggravating--not only do the two words sound the same, but "lightening" will pass a spell checker with no problem ("Lightening his work load should be our first priority!").
