The sheltering of the lambs
My sense is that I'm kind of rushing here at the end of Night Warrior, not always giving my characters enough time to have the kind of emotional grounding they need--but I need to move on. Once I've got a complete first draft on the page, I'll concentrate on making "nice-nice" in the rewrites. For now, the drive to the end is all that matters. I'd love to get it done by November 1, which may be doable.
Well, there is that entire household move thing that's happening on November 10. I called the movers yesterday and set that up. That might put a crimp in my writing schedule, but the writing exists, somewhat, outside of the franticness at home. I wrote 1250 words yesterday at lunch to finish off the chapter. I don't expect to get that much done every day, but it would be nice.
I hesitate to say I've hit the end momentum--afraid I'll jinx that--but that would be nice, too...
I rewarded myself for finishing chapter 28 early by allowing myself to work on chapter 2 of Charged With Folly. I did another 1200 words. Back to NW tomorrow, refreshed and perky. Well, maybe that last word's a stretch, but, yanno...
Things I'd like to see: Some Canterbury Tales fanfic. I think the Wife of Bath has a few more tails in her, don't you? And the Miller's Tale calls out for a revenge fantasy sequel, don't you think?
And just so you know... I hate waiting. Anticipation does not make things better for me. It makes me twitch and squirm. So now you know. :-)

Avebury in a deluge.
