Yes, I have been neglecting the journal. But I have at least been writing. Chapter Nine proceeds apace. 941 wds. on Saturday. 1,027 wds. on Sunday. Saturday was almost as hard as Friday (see the entry for 6/15), but Sunday was much better — it only took me about two hours to do my work for the day. But it is becoming a Frustrating Book, and is most certainly a Different Sort of Book than either Threshold or Silk, and I have to hope that's a good thing. The violence continues to bother me, but it's an intrinsic, necessary element. I just have to keep searching for that end, which I talked about when I started this journal so many months ago. It's almost in sight. With luck, Chapter Nine will be finished on this coming Friday.
