ksmith | Weaving and weighing

Not sure if I will make my five pages tonight. The chapter is almost complete--I wrote dialogue at a pretty rapid clip, which is why I made my 5 two nights ago--but it's the equivalent of pieces of cloth cut from a pattern. They're arranged atop the table in the proper positions, but they need to be sewn together and there are dangly threads here and there. What I'm trying to do now is sew them together. Flat-fell seams. Just enough detail. Hand-worked buttonholes.

I have the right words leading up to the close, at least. I had to pause to wipe my eyes as I typed.
