Hush 64770

Again, not 10k, but the middle act of the book is building nicely toward the pivot into the final act. I decided against introducing the new cast member as a major player, though I still may introduce him in the next chapter as someone with a role in future books. Going into the final third of the book, I'm going to stick with my core trio of protagonists. I think I've got more than enough material built around these three to keep me rolling to the 100k word mark, though at some point this week I actually need to sit down and write down all the major plot events remaining so that I can pace this thing correctly. Still, the muddled middle has been mostly slogged through. It's odd to think that I may be only one month away from being able to say, "Hey! I've written another book!"
