Of course, I still haven't got my damned laptop, so I'm not especially capable of writing anything here at home; and, it's actually been a while since I truly wrote anything resembling a novel, so I'm slightly out of practise. But, all that notwithstanding, I went ahead and tried writing out a sort of keystone chapter for Pandemic just now.
     Also, I went ahead and uploaded it. Go ahead and read through it. Hopefully it'll make some sense, even though it's likely to show up about a hundred pages into the final novel.
     I might rewrite it by then, too. I've got a pretty good idea how the story will actually move along, but I might make a few changes once I know more....
