Chapter Four is halfway done.
This is great and all.
Really.
I mean, I’m actually happy with the final product so far. There’s been
no cringing at character motivation, no rolling my eyes at juvenile sentence
structure, no head-pounding, no teeth-gnashing, no moaning, groaning or
cursing.
The progress has all been rather boring, in fact. Which, don’t get me
wrong, I love. Cranking out a final draft should not be like giving birth. The
experience should be more like sending your kid off to college. Sentimentally
biting from time to time but not physical torture requiring scalpels and a mop.
Yep. So, hoorah for me.
However…
At the current pace I’m setting, I will finish The Hushing Days
sometime around my 92nd birthday. By that point, I believe, problems
of structural continuity will have taken on a whole new meaning.
*sighs*
So, please, wish me a bit of speed before I’m too old for this crap.
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
