The beginning of classes has marked the start of a more chaotic daily schedule, one that often puts me in no mood to write. I want to work on the book when I have the time, but at the end of most days I feel like I've been trampled by a horde of freshmen (which isn't too far from the truth, as a matter of fact).

In any case, I more than doubled the material I had for the new version of my birds/dinosaurs chapter. This might not be especially impressive given that I had only three pages to start with, but I intend to keep up with the updates through the rest of the week.

Here is the latest Wordle for this chapter;
