November's Writing Progress

Work on Command Authority has been slow this month, adding only 2,500 words. It now stands at 125,000 words. Partly it's that I've been studying more of Mum's writing to figure out how far it is from being publishable. And partly it's that I spent far too long on a high-school physics problem that I set myself to ensure that the relevant part of the Command Authority timeline is accurate. Even after making some "simplifying assumptions" (an asteroid travelling in a straight line at constant speed - close enough to true over a few weeks of its orbit), it was quicker to write a computer program to try all possible solutions until it found the right one.

(And yes, we still haven't finished unpacking, but at least all the furniture is now in the right rooms.)
