I started writing chapter 16 this morning. I got the first 2000 words down. After dinner, I’m going to try for another 1000. The scene didn’t happen as I’d first imagined it. I think it’s okay, but I might need to do some rewriting. It does mean that the significant event that occurs in the […]
Finished hand-writing chapter 15 today.
