The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Der

I was so caught up in the Big Flood this morning, and getting my new laptop days earlier than I expected, that I forgot to write some words here.

Kelsey and Parker need to run into living people. There has to be some more killing, or the zombies will stop being a threat. Now I have them exhausted and frustrated, and they run into some goons who will escort them to the Reverend Spevak, who we met (sorta) in chapter one (which will end up massively re-written eventually, but I was so ecstatic when I finished it last year *g*).

I'm kinda feeling my way at this point, because the outline gets fuzzy at this point. I know what I want to happen, and I know where it ends, but how - exactly - it's going to get there I'm going to find out as I write, I think.

Feeling your way -- that's what I've got from here to the end. Ironically, it's the point I started with and now that I get here, I have no idea how it's going to work.

It will be so much easier to revise once you have the tail of it in your hand.

I slept on the couch this afternoon; caught a cold. Excuse not to move stuff -- can't last. Gotta get packing. I just can't face it. But I'm feeling a little less crazy. Thanks again for listening. Gotta write, gotta write -- it's the only thing that works.

Ooops -- can you delete that? I'm using Gene's computer because the wireless isn't working.
