Ramblings

Anyone else going to be there? I have more comments to get through for the novel, so I’ll be going, and probably hogging a table all to myself.

I am still loving the writing. I was concerned, because I seemed to be stalling on Chapter 1. Then I took a long look at it tonight, and realized that nope, wasn’t stuck. Just finished. Chapter 1 is coming in at just about 5000 words (25 hand-written pages.) I know that I’ll need to expand
