Fits and Starts

Today's chapter—

Interactive: "Sunday Fixings" 
Public: "Sunday Fixings" 

—is now up. And by "today's chapter" I mean, "the chapter that should have been up yesterday."

But I'm making this thing up as I go along, and it's not so smooth. This is a short branch that is supposed to spend some time with Will in Kelly Cooper's skin and life. But there's not a lot for him to do inside her life, which makes it hard to make up a story for her. And on the other hand, what plot there is—him trying to figure out his relationship with Blackwell's, and Blackwell's relationship with Lucy Vredenburg, points toward evolutions that would probably force him out of the impersonation.

So the kind of stuff that would pull the story forward would end this part prematurely; and the kind of thing that would keep this part going is hard to write because there's not much happening. It's straining my ingenuity, and I ran out of time the day before yesterday as I was trying to write.

You should get a chapter tomorrow, though. I've got one written, at least.
