46K, and countin'.

I'm not writing entirely consecutively, but the gaps are fairly narrow ones, usually spanning a few lines of dialog or a description, and I keep going back and filling in as I figure out what should go there. I suspect the book has two distinct halves--before and after they get to Anuket City--and I've now got the "before" half almost completely written--there's only a few small bits to be slid in here and there, and the final wrap-up to get them back on the road and actually into Anuket City.

Plot eggs have been laid. We'll see if any of 'em hatch.
