1500 more words, Chapter 19 of TIWTBWO #3 is done, and I am a bit grumpy because it then took a ridiculously long amount of time to find a working floppy to transfer from my writing computer to my desktop and ensuingly I did not have time last night for the long hot bath my back is in need of.

That takes me just over 80,000 words.  This is thrashing about a lot; I think I am going to move forward to the next inflexion point, which should be about chapter 24, and then rework some of the earlier stuff.  (Rather than having a Big Middle, this is a book of three parts, and chapter 24/25, depending on how the intervening scenes organise themselves, will be the end of the second part.)

Frustrating as some of it sounds, it also sounds like you're making some good progress.  Keep after it Neuro.

Fixed a major plot hole last night. Figured out who murdered the artist and why, which is always a good thing to know about one's own character.

I sadly broke my habit of writing every day this past week due to last weekend being away for an archery-competition,and getting up VERY late. But I am now back in the habit again. It goes slowly indeed.

Now I only need to finish a new piece to use to enter the writing competition on a gaming convention in Gothenburg next month. No pressure at all. Yeah right.

Not nearly as many words as I hoped for over the past three weeks. (Family visited and, hey that's important too.) About 6000 over that time frame. Also a lot of mental work on the last 1/4 to ending. Also a personally hard decision to cut back on a sub-plot thread. Time well spent.

On the other hand, am I the only one who loves it when the manuscript is large enough that it takes quite a bit of time to load and get to your last writing sentence? It used to be irritating, but I'm taking pleasure in the small things these days.

Best writing all.

My writing right now is divided between work for a Superhero RPG Catalyst Games Lab is doing, outlining a novel for Rick Chessler's new series, and my Battletech writing. I may have to clone myself.....

I don't stick my chapters together into one file until the very end, because I way too often find myself rearranging them.

Chapter 20, 3100 words tonight.  This is the chapter 20 on the original plan, not the new chapter I thought went in at 20 and I now think goes in at 21.  It's not done but I may finish it tomorrow or Sunday.
