The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Ah HA

While walking to the car Friday night it suddenly occured to me how the book is going to end. It makes sense and is a nice ending scene. Having a point to write toward again is feeling pretty nice.

That day I had gotten about 700 words done, working on the beginning of chapter eight, having already done a good bit of the middle. *g* It starts with a dream sequence, which may or may not work, but I'm going to leave it in for now to see how I like it later. I took Parker inside of the gas station out of chapter seven and was going to just do away with it, but I think he's going to have a bad dream about it that night instead.

Working on the house again after taking October off. We got there with a certain plan and lots of energy, but I broke two tools and didn't measure twice to cut once and ruined my faux brick panelling. Hmph.

Sorry to hear the house stuff is starting off on the wrong foot, but cheered to hear the writing is going well. It's good to have the ending nailed down -- just make sure it doesn't make you feel in a hurry to get there. Take as much time as you need. You'll get there. Can't wait to see what you do with the dream.
