pre-Worldcon post / noveling update

I'm mostly packed for Worldcon. I wish I was feeling better. (The hot weather we've been having may be responsible for my having a few not-so-good days following a fairly comfortable week.) I haven't been to Chicago since I was a kid.

I've nearly reached the end of this draft of the Jo book.

Word count: 81,767

Page count: 288

One chapter to go (and that's nearly done). I had thought about finishing before Worldcon, but I have pre-travel brain. I'm almost there, though...
