Words! 659 of them! Technically I wrote them yesterday and just typed them up today (and swapped some things around/added things), but still. I plan to add more later, actually written today.
Which is progress on the short story which currently has no title, which used to be "Nettles for Penelope" and now is I have no idea.
But the Iliad is working itself in nicely, and so is the Little Mermaid, which makes me happy. Maybe the Odyssey will come--well, that's more the first part of the story, and this is the middle bit, and in a small way I think the Odyssey is already in this part, too.
Not sure what the third part of the story will be like or about, yet; there's a crisis at the end of the middle that I haven't gotten to yet, and don't completely know what that will be about or how (or if) it will resolve, so I have no idea what anyone will do about it. Maybe Aeschylus will come into it somehow: the end of the Oresteia has always frustrated me, with the whole part where Athena talks down the Furies from being saturated in "corrupt" female power into fertility-and-crops-and-wholesome-female-goodness. It would be nice to get a chance to do it properly.
