While the blast of wintery cold weather makes me want to do nothing but sleep, the fact that I’ve written for 13 straight days makes me want to keep going! I’ve got a lot done on the Oliver POV part of the story, and expect that at the end of November I can at long last do the Jack POV part of the story. I wanted to have two points of view in Fagin’s Boy, but after six years writing the novel, I felt as if I needed to finish and move on. And, as I’ve mentioned before, writing about Jack during the time of Fagin’s Boy would really be a book in its own right.

Now I’ve tried like anything to upload this delightful animated gif of Philae landing on a comet. But for some reason, even though I can download the gif and then upload it, on my site, it doesn’t work. So if you go to the link, you can see the in-depth, entertaining animation that explains how it all worked out.
