Chapter 2 is done. Chapter 3 fun has begun, although I will have to pop back into chapter 2 to insert a detail that somehow I forgot while writing it.

People. People, people. Not you people, those people.

You know my favorite illustration of "check your metaphors" is "His eyes slid down the front of her dress"? It may have a challenger: "[Name] watches him intently with big question marks tattooed in his eyes."

Ow. Owowowowow, and OW!

That's awesome. I'd still have to go with the first one as the champion though.

I got a block of time for writing during my vacation day and I'm now plowing through chapter 3 quickly.

DW has starting reading chapter 1 and 2 and writing down comments about stuff. It's a biased opinion, but she has been really positive about it so far. She's a smart, well-read person, so I value her opinions and comments. Her grammar is better than mine too, which is quite a help.

Go, Gud! And Gud!wife!

Thanks! I'm up to about 45 pages on the word processor, so I figured it was about time to let someone read what I had so far to make sure I wasn't going off in an unintelligible direction.

I have made chapter 3 my bitch. Onward to chapter 4.

Chapter 3 was a lot of fun, lots of action, a protracted fight at the end, and a serious wound.

Chapter 4 will probably be mostly character stuff until the very end. That will be fun in a different way.

I think I'm posting too much.

Nah, Gud. I'm getting a kick out of your enthusiasm. It's fun!
