And so it goes.

I succeeded in writing a whole 40 words for Chapter 11 before the end of the day yesterday. Nowhere near as much as I would have liked, but yesterday was rather busy. Did some major house cleaning (getting rid of clutter and putting things away), four loads of laundry, and I critted a four chapter chunk of a WIP (work in progress, if you’re not familiar with writers’ lingo) for my writing group. It was actually a five chapter file, but I’d already gone over the first chapter so I skipped it this time.

While only getting 40 words of Chapter 11 done would generally be disappointing, it wasn’t really. I was having a hard time figuring out what Alex’s reaction would be to the revelations that ended Chapter 10. I think I got it right, but I’m sure my group members will let me know if I haven’t. They’re good with that. I hope to get a bunch more written today, so I can be finished the chapter by Friday.

Work on the super secret project continues slowly, mainly because I’m having a crisis. I’m now wondering if I’ve chosen the right direction, and whether or not I should change things before I get too much further. Decisions or decisions.
