Slowly onward, and the assistant search is over

Today, we hired someone for the executive/personal assistant job. I'm quite pleased. She starts February 1, and I am hoping for great things from her.

On the novel front, the plot proceeds slowly, but it proceeds. Last night, I enountered an issue I had not yet considered, one of integration of certain elements, but at this point that's not surprising.

I am itching to get writing, but I also know I must finish this stage before I go to the next.

So I shall.
