Jim and Marty….in Jim’s dreams, anyway…..

* At least in first draft mode….

I finally added Scene Four from Chapter 11 to the Story Board on WriteItNow.

Hi, everyone!

I just stopped by to announce that – at least in “rough draft” form – Chapter 11 of Reunion: Coda is finally finished.

 
It took me two months just to figure out how I wanted to write that chapter, a fact that vexes me even now despite the fact that I have at least a first draft that hopefully will not need too much revising.

An AI rendering of Jim and Marty (as seen through Jim’s dreams about Marty, anyway.)

Of course, since I finished Scene Four a couple of hours ago, I have not yet decided what my working day will be like tomorrow. Ideally, I should at least try to begin work on Chapter 12 and not lose momentum lest I miss my December publication deadline, but…we’ll see if I write “all-new” stuff after my midday break or if I end up editing and revising stuff that’s already in the document file for the manuscript.

Well, it’s almost 10:30 PM here in the Tampa Bay area, and I need to go watch something to relax and take my mind off from the novel – among other things – so I’ll close this here. Until next time, stay safe, stay healthy, and I’ll catch you on the sunny side of things.

      Thanks. I worked on Chapter 11 until 8 PM or so, then was so wound up afterward that I wasn’t able to go to sleep till 2 AM. We’ll see what develops after the midday break.

      I’m thrilled that at least the first draft is done. The downside is that I was so excited about finally closing out the chapter (at least till it’s time to edit and revise it) that I couldn’t sleep, so now I’m exhausted and not in shape to deal with the novel.

      Oh, well. I’ll work on the manuscript tomorrow.
