Still on the low end of the word count, but I've continued linearly through the already written part, editing and inserting new text. Am up to page 62 of 134 now. I'm pleased that the whole Icarus-inspired backstory doesn't have anything obvious that needs edits, though, looking at the overall scene-by-scene layout, I just know that when I get to this part in the class the teacher will start bitching about how I have too many characters and threads going and she can't keep them straight. Which I'm going to feel free to ignore since none of the students have that problem in any of the stories we're working on for each other. And under "things I have learned today, specifically for the novel" is that the top of the ear, the part that curls over, is called the helix.
The history book's arc is done. Have to decide if not having had a chance to read it before it got sacrificed is going to come back to bite Marin later, or if she's simply going to apologize to Rosemarinda (the book's owner) and try to find a new copy. Are there libraries in this universe? There obviously must be printers and booksellers and people who have private libraries/collections... is there a royal library? I think there should be. Books are a source of power and showing off wealth, after all. That's why they used to be chained to keep people from stealing them. Kind of like computers in libraries nowadays.
