sooner rather than later
Partly through chapter seventeen. Pondering finishing the book in fewer chapters than I initially plotted. I may be able to finish it in 13 chapters; we'll see. I don't want to chop short anything that should not be, but it might be better for the story if I don't stretch it out past its tensile strength (R-*cough*-t*cough*J-*cough*-n).
I never thought I'd get this far. It's truly weird and fun. The last year has been a study in getting my shit together, something I don't know I would have done without the encouragement and ass-kicking of several friends, and one person in particular (you know who you are). Good times.
What do I do with all these people who are absolutely convinced I'm going to have a novel published someday, and what did I do to earn them as friends and family? Maybe I was a chocolate lab in a past life. Mmm. Chocolate.
I was unable to make it to class tonight, which I am bummed about, but we had some last minute stuff come up at work and I had to do it. I made up for it with a burger and garlic-roasted potatoes and an excellent red wine leftover from last week's wine party and Melissa's. Go go gadget alcohol!
