Two and a half chapters done, two to go.
To Regain Heaven now stands at 60,654 which leaves me still 9346 short of my target. I edited two chapters last night, 17 and 18, adding 657 and 488 words respectively. I also finished off 16, adding a total of 956 words over the last couple of days.
I should explain that when writing the first draft (long hand) I left lots of scenes very loose, with place holders for expansion. When Typing the thing into the laptop, I didn't do a whole load of that (although I did some). So now I have to do the rest. Then I'm going to print the whole thing out. Half is already in the hands of EWH. When he is done with it, I will sit down with a red pen. Then comes layering and foreshadowing, also known as R tries to pull it all together and make it cohesive!
I only have two chapters left. I'm right up to the final confrontation. Feels weird.
Actually what probably makes the weirdness happen is that I am off to a funeral in about half and hour and that usually does it.
In house news, we almost have shelves. Or we have almost shelves. (They're together, they're up, there's only one shelf in them, they aren't fixed to the wall yet so we can't use them = almost shelves). Since we moved house nearly two years ago and all (ALL) my books have been in boxes since then, this is a very big thing. (alright, not all, I am a librarian, books gravitate towards me and they hate nothing more than being boxed.)
(btw, if any new friends want to say hello, that would be cool! :D)
