My wife still hasn't read chapter 5 and dude I sent stuff to hasn't read anything yet. I need feedback, it's addictive.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

I'm hoping to get a decent amount of writing time this weekend. I've got some fun stuff coming up. The beginning of a triangle in which one corner is very manipulative, the leader of their group showing the ability to make hard and somewhat amoral decisions, and the heist.

Got in about 50 minutes and 500 words last night. Not a great night, but something unexpected happened with a couple of the characters that I'm happy about. I didn't really outline this chapter so maybe that's a bonus from my laziness. The next chapter will have to be outlined pretty well though, too many moving parts to wing it.

Chapters 6 & 7 done last night. That's a bit of cheat though, chapter 6 got so long my wife said I should split it up. My word count is now 48,000.

What made me think I could ever write a novel...I've got two horrible novels in my drawer that say I can't. Much less this whole mystery series that somebody talked me into envisioning... I just have to face it. I'm just a wannabe with a few clever tricks.

You sound like the voices in my head, erika. Tell them to shut the fuck up.

I have those voices too I think Burrell has the right plan.

Yeah, I should, but if I felt that I would listen to myself, maybe I'd feel confident enough to make the books happen. I know I am at least a little better than when I wrote those other things, though.

I managed to outline chapters 8,9,and 10 last night. Now I can get back to writing. Maybe 8,9,10 and 11. There's a lot going on in 8 and it may need to split.
