Slow progress, because I have to stop and look things up (like what is it about the topsail schooner being chase that will make it look fast? But didn't I spend a few hours looking this up before and why do I keep doing all this research for a line of dialogue? Because this is where I learn new & interesting stuff, that can be used at other times & expands ones knowledge, like firepistons, which are rather cool but irrelevant to the novel at hand)

Ouchie

Hand hurts. Typing* makes it worse :(

Think dog aggravated it on Sunday. Then something today made it worse. Carting big books about? Typing too much on the number pad?
Evil right-sided mouse?

Of course, once it started to hurt, the idea that I should stop typing NOW rather then when I finished entering everything in sort of, well, got ignored.

Rubbed Deep Heat in once I got home. Might not stop it hurting but it makes it feel nice.

*Two handed typing anyway. I still type faster with one hand than the average user does with two & more accurate than usual because there are less transposed letter type errors caused by one hand being faster than the other. It's making changes/moving cursor that is frustrating
