I look more rad than Lutheranism

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I finished the exorcism scene.
Man oh man.
A wrap-up, an epilogue, DONE.

(clapping) I'm making good progress on the edits. Wishing I had more of a thrill for Saturday night, but...

It's about 2000 words (the exorcism), maybe a bit more. Plus, I finished the previous chapter earlier today.
Gronk. Need to take a deep breath, go back, and reread.

Wow, Deb, that is quite an accomplishment for one day. Go you!

I'm impressed...one thousand makes me e-mail people to tell them what I did.

I don't usually do that much in a sitting; I don't set minimums (telling myself that I have to write a minimum of X number of words will generally produce crap), but I've found that the exorcism scenes in each book have basically demanded a deep breath at the beginning and then whammo, all the way through.

Well, that makes sense in a weird way. The most I can do is say I'm gonna sit at the desk for an hour. I usually write something. I miss fic, though. But I need to not for a little while longer.

I don't recommend being as unstructured as I am to anyone, but it does work for me.
And if a scene is intense enough to warrant that kind of flow? I go with it.

Oh, hell, I can't take it.
Are any of my angelic beta readers around? Anyone? I need to know if this exorcism scene works.
