Sniffle...

Good news: I'm getting better. Bad news: I'm busily developing a hacking-up-a-lung sort of cough... This does have one or two advantages, though; employ it while waiting in line for a supermarket till or the post office counter and clear the queue (because no-one likes to wait behind someone who sounds like they're dying of consumption!)

Bandit Country Update: I'm 99% certain I've finished zapping plot holes, which should mean I can go full steam ahead on chapter 3/4/5. 100,000 words is more or less my target, so I'm probably looking at between 20 and 30 chapters - so really, the next job (while I'm working on the opening chapters) is to plot the story to the chapters. That's going to be quite a challenge because, while Max Force was 19 chapters long, the original planning was only 12! Identity, likewise wasn't planned to be 20 chapters (although that one probably shouldn't count, given that I was planning based on series episodes, which is sorta cheating!). I can do this...
