Don't feel bad about being behind, Rosie (are you actually behind?). We can encourage each other this weekend!

I'm not really behind except in my mind, but I am worried because I feel like the story is slipping through my fingers. I hadn't intended to bring in certain characters yet, but they're there already. I feel like I don't have much left to tell. And I really do need to get ahead, if I'm going to be OK in the next few weeks. My goal is to hit 25k by Monday, I think, or possibly even surpass that.
