I'm stuck in the Honda dealership on their free wireless Internet, so I got another 1071 words or so (estimated because I actually typed a bunch more, but much of that was notes to myself as I had more great ideas for things I want to include).
So now I'm farther in, but realize it's going to be a bit longer than I thought. :) I've revised the estimated length up to 10,000 words.

See? I told you I suck at estimating how long something will turn out to be. :)
I'm fairly happy with how it's going, so far. There is some really bad stuff in there, but that's what editing is for. My mantra—a la
sailormur—is "I'm allowed to suck. I'm allowed to suck. I'm allowed to suck." :)
