WIP status and snippet

Work progresses, but not as quickly as I’d like. But that’s pretty much status quo in and of itself.

The Cat Who Came in From the Cold is now at about 50K words. I say about because I may have to delete a few things that sounded good when I wrote them, but are now edging toward the “What the hell were you thinking? That’s idiotic!” Maybe some of it can be redeemed. But probably not. Anyway, I’m thinking that the book needs 20-25K more words. A few dramatic bits that set up what the bad guys are doing. And some connective tissue to connect up all the various pieces. And I’m sure a few more witticisms by the cat will find themselves a home in the process.

Anyway, the bit I’m currently working on concerns a little visit Hyperion and Meagan are making that isn’t, strictly speaking, blessed by the law.

“You don’t seem at all concerned about what will happen to us if I get caught,” Meagan observed.
“You’re a good person,” Hyperion assured her. “I’m sure you’ll get a minimum sentence. And because you’re a good person, you’ll give me to Kaylee and I’ll live with her. We’ll visit you every weekend. Most weekends. At first.”
