1/12/06: Backing up for a running start

Word count: 5833 | Since last entry: 176

Most of this evening's writing consisted of a quick editing pass through the whole story so far, cleaning it up and looking for cues that my subconscious had planted toward the ending, then straightening them up so they all point in the same direction. Still not 100% sure what the actual ending will be but it's definitely shaping up.

A snippet: "I keyed the laser with Merganther's personal emergency code. He answered almost immediately, and I told him about the failing spar. I gave him my honest assessment of the severity of the situation, and I did not overstate the risk. But I didn't tell him about the bloom."

Thanks to those who have commented on the last couple of entries. I don't have the time to post replies right now, but your comments are appreciated.
