The need for sleep really derails things, you know?

Hovering around page 500, editing-wise. One scene to add in Ch 28. Much adjusting and tweaking details and removing names of characters that no longer appear and inserting those of the ones that do. Need to change the POV of several scenes.

Combined two short chapters, which means I'll likely wind up with 36 chapters, not 37.

Brain is racing. All those damned instances of 'you know, this is an importnt point--I should probably mention it several times in earlier chapters.' Then you go back to the earlier chapters, and the dialogue and timing are so tightly woven that you can't tuck in anything new without it looking like A SHIRTTAIL FLAPPING IN THE BREEZE.

Sleep...

Oh, I've so been there. I hope you found some cracks.

A few. But you always miss something. I'm sure to have at least a few irritating edits.
