Conscienceless?
I'm not sure that either can be applied to an inanimate object. I think 'un' requires the existence of conscience at some point.

Forgot something important, so I'll need to do some editing on chapter one. Maybe move some of the content over to chapter two.

Working on chapter five.
With this novel, I'm not using the first person, present tense perspective. Instead, I'm using the more common third person, past tense perspective.
