Snail's Pace
I wrote a lot tonight, but then I got to an older chapter and had to cut a bunch so my net word gain is only a couple hundred. But, the old stuff has to make way for the new. Tired. Looking forward to some time off, during which I will probably ignore my family as much as I possibly can so I can write.
Edited to add: I forgot, today I was sitting staring into the ether and suddenly I was channeling Patti O'Shea because my heroine for the next book started talking to me. OK, like I don't know how it happens with Patti, but I know the character wasn't really talking to me, despite my being more than happy to listen, but there she was in my head and I knew all kinds of stuff about her that I didn't before. She will be referred to as FH which stands for Female Heroine until somebody coughs up a name. She kind of kicks ass.
Storywise, Scandal is done, so I don't have any notebooking to do. Just writing, freaking writing, which I did a lot of tonight notwithstanding the low word count. I think I have two maybe three chapters to get through before I can even think of some one reading it raw.
OK, off to bed.

The fact you didn't get a name, Carolyn, is probably proof positive I was involved etherically. :-) That's been the bane of my life for the past few weeks.
And yeah, I actually talk to them and sometimes they reply. Sometimes they ignore me.
Good luck with the writing and have a great Thanksgiving!

You talk to them?
You know, that's just scary. =;-O
