What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: I finished typing the whole thing! It's not the end of the story since I have always envisioned it in two halves, but I decided not to include an author's note on Chapter Twenty-Nine and see where the discussion goes, if there is any discussion.
Fave line: "I'll get the bitch before you."
What Else I Accomplished Today: I have a list for after work. I don't know how much I'll get done since we're supposed to go under a hard freeze at 10 p.m. Screw it, I have to go Wal-Mart already I'll just buy a pack of new panties.
What I'm looking forward to: Weekend trip!
What I'm not looking forward to: Spraying for termites as soon as the weather cooperates.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: First scene done in Chapter Twenty-seven. One little thing that irked me in TDKR was how the only orphans in Gotham were boys. Statistically, that's just not possible; never mind how the Occupation threw things off. So I fixed it.
Fave line: "Catwoman, not Batwoman. The ears ain't like Batman's."
What Else I Accomplished Today: Hunkered down before the next cold snap.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: *Snort* I forgot to fix the files on my USB drive and had to clean them up when I got home. Luckily, I didn't forget the drive at home, so I was able to keep typing.
Fave line: "She hugged him! My brain still can't deal with that ick!"
What Else I Accomplished Today: Holy crap, today proved it was Monday with a vengeance. First, the fun with the USB drive that I didn't discover until I made it to work, then I forgot to bring a letter with the phone number I needed to call during business hours with me. The back porch light died and after the fun we had with my kitchen light Sunday, I don't want to know why. But worrying about that made me set my keys in the car and forget that I had, so I spent a few minutes swearing at my locked house and contemplating breaking in before I put the rest of the stuff in the car and found them. I left the editing project at home. I forgot to take my medicine with lunch and forgot to check my blood sugar before supper. I forgot the paperwork Mom asked me to research which was on my printer when I walked over to her house last night. I forgot to watch Castle.
What I'm looking forward to: My lapse of memory to be over with.
What I'm not looking forward to: Spraying for termites as soon as the weather cooperates.

What I Accomplished in the Narrative Today: Started Chapter Twenty-Six. I think I'll have to add more to the rough draft.
Fave line: "Get up here and arrest these bastards. Is he okay?"
What Else I Accomplished Today: I actually worked on these images Wednesday, when my back insisted I stay home and lay for hours with a heating pad.

Okay, I am insanely pleased with this one. The movie footage had the right light glow that matched the neon lights of the background. I didn't have to tweak that. That's so rare with my image manipulation, I don't really want to make another cover for the Wayne Legacy half of the fanmix. I don't really have any ideas for that cover either. Maybe the jewelry from the title image.

I love making title images, but this one is just serviceable. I'll probably ask my readers for some favorite images that can serve the story.

Oddly enough, I like this image better than the one for the story that comes first. And this is even when I made another image that involved tweaking fancasting and I squealed when it came out just the way I wanted it to, and I had to not use it in the title image to keep the villain a surprise. Boo. Double boo, because I can't show it off here either.

The hardest thing about this title image was the bouquet. But I love how it turned out.

What I'm looking forward to: Getting my new boots off layaway.
What I'm not looking forward to: Spraying for termites as soon as the weather cooperates.
