A somewhat frustrating week for writing - it went really well on a few days, and not so much on others, with work getting in the way.

Completed the 2nd half of the encounter with the transformed victim in the basement, and began a new scene with Katherine, Jonathon and Crystal determining David's fate - some new revelations, some minor world-building, hopefully a few surprises.

At the current rate, by the end of next week the Interlude will hit 40k words - half the length of the typical novel, apparently.  Clearly, it's gotten a little out of hand though when I read back over it, I'm not sure what I'd want to cut.  Any suggestions? 

There remains a few more scenes to write before calling the Interlude done:

--> visiting Mal, the man David took down in the diner

--> a final scene with Chad

--> David being told that Cindy isn't going away anytime soon and his reaction to this

--> Some offered help to ease those future months

--> A scene of possible fanservice

--> A pair of surprise--twists?--at the end.
