1700 words, and maybe more to come later but I have to pee and go to the park with Truffle before it starts raining again. (see the slogan at the top of my journal: we're back to "rains and rains," having left "never rains again" for the time being, or for five or six months anyway)
1100 of that finished of chapter 4 for a chapter total of 5600, and 600 of that is in chapter 5. I have rounded the chapter 4 wordage down a bunch and the chapter 5 part up a little. The novel total for the day is 22 400 or so.
Accomplished: got through all the stuff where Yanek is mistaken for servant boy, and the introduction of the city, the palace, and the tutor. Also gave the little duke Sasha another reason to idolize Yanek (Ludmilla talks him into attempting to take Sasha's punishments from the tutor on the grounds that Sasha is a baby). Fun part: Yanek takes a dinner art up a service elevator, and of course the elevator is based on the one in the hotel in Prague, or possibly even the one in the national theater there.
Relationship to the outline: not too far deviated, but I'm started chapter five and the outline covers all this in three chapters. . . the rest of this chapter is Yanek in the palace, Yanek meeting his brothers by birth at a holiday party, Ludmilla doing science. Next chapter is where the fantasy part kicks in pretty heavily, with talking wild pig and stuff like that there.
I should probably be friends-locking this stuff, huh? Too much like work and my bladder says it's time to move on.
