The Best Post Ever

This is not the best post ever. This evening, I did something cool with the current active chapter. I reached a point in my editing where I realized that the chapter is mostly coherent. See, this was one of the chapters where, at the start, I had a pretty good broad idea of what needed to happen in the chapter, so I threw into the chapter every kind of supporting idea which came to me. It was like (this is an exaggeration) an astronaut and a scientist create a giant telepathic worm which causes nuclear war and then escapes in the astronaut's spacecraft, but then Obama cancelled NASA but the Russians had planted a bomb on the spacecraft and they detonated the bomb and then a tribute concert was held and Bono sang a song which caused God to cry and then these plants grew were poisonous to the giant telepathic worm and it never came back but it didn't matter because everyone killed themselves because Bono sucks. The chapter has now been streamlined and cobbled into pretty good shape. It's not as exciting as the tale of the giant telepathic worm, but it's pretty good. It should be complete in another three or four nights. -Cary
