471 today. Relatively productive: I decided to split the out-of-control finale chapter, found a good end point for the first installment and started the new chapter 11, though chapter 10 still needs polish. Excerpt shamelessly stolen from the original...

‘That’s right,’ said Ferdy. ‘There’s a word for it, big-something, bigonia, bigwiggy… on the tip of my tongue.’

‘Oh, you mean bigamy,’ supplied Hero. ‘That’s illegal – or at least I think it is. Didn’t Abraham have two wives? Or was it three?’

‘Don’t think I know anyone called Abraham. Do you, Gil?’

‘Silly! He’s from the Bible!’

‘Oh, I definitely don’t know him then. Very bad ton, those Biblical chaps.’

Good for you. Keep that internal editor under control and keep churning the chapters out until you've done draft one.

(Just wish I could take my own advice ... lol)

Thanks, Tawek. I'm usually ok as long as I actually start the new chapter; if I have a thread to tug me forwards I don't stall even if I spend time polishing the old.

Well done pushing on to the next chapter - and this is a really fun excerpt!

Thanks! Entirely snaffled from the discussion about Cleopatra the Mummy, but it seemed to fit.
