Bogged down in technical research today. Anyone out there have knowledge of regenerative CO2 scrubbers? In particular, I’m looking for advise on the lengths of the adsorbtion and desorbtion cycles.

The third book is well under way, and it’s proving to be more ambitious than the first two. I tend to avoid outlining, preferring to let things shape up organically. But there is just too much going on in this one to not have some sort of road map. Ha ha, see what I did there? Of course you don’t, because you have no idea what the story is. But I did something.
I’ve always preferred to write privately and keep the curtain closed. But I’m going to open it a crack this time, as I go along, to help me stay on mission.
However, time spent writing here is time not writing there. So the crack will reveal only this: each day’s word count. These are rough draft numbers. Bulk production is the name of the game at this stage. Finesse comes later.
As of yesterday evening, I had 8366 words.
Today’s word count: 782.
