So still no fantasy content. Nothing much happens in this part, really. It's just Jane thinking about stuff. I think next time, though, her mom's ex-husband might be making an appearance.

I am not doing chapters this year. Or at least, not so far. I'm just going to be posting what I have as I have it, and what I have today is this: 1686 words.

Standard disclaimers apply. Still don't sue me.

Much ado about Hogwarts letters.

Well, okay, not quite. But almost.

My plot is attempting to kill me this year, kids. It wants to leave itself up to chance when any thinking person knows it has to be outlined, with extensive use of note cards, and re-outlined and timelined and carefully checked for accuracy against all the information I can glean from the books before I can set pen to paper fingers to keyboard and get cracking.

I wholeheartedly intend to wrangle it into submission by Sunday. If I have to sit down with a bottle of Captain Morgan and a stack of 3x5s, scrawling down everything that comes into my head, then sober up and shuffle the scenes around, I will totally do it.

This is all last-ditch stuff, now, from today while I was trying to make my wordcount. Okay, so, technically, everything after chapter, like, ten is from today. But this is the really last-ditch stuff, like, the stuff I'm going to have to overhaul really strenuously.
