20 June 2005 02:10 pmChapter Three (The Devil's Shilling: Celebrity Journalism and the Hero's Perspective in "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon") is now done. It is 11,405 words long. It took me a month and a half to write it. Twice I threw out everything I had and started over.

batman: *GRUMP*
alfred: Master B- ... er, Batman?
batman: Yes?
alfred: I was wondering when you might be finished with the towel from the guest bathroom. Only it's due for laundring, you see.

alfred: *under his breath* Wanker.
batman: What was that?
alfred: Oh, nothing sir. Just thinking about stain removal products.
batman: Yes, well then.
batman: *turns back to his brooding*
alfred: *even quieter* Git.
