We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Always Anti-fascist!

Not a big deal. I've just been working on something else anyway. But I'll be glad to know what you think.ETA: Fay, I'll show you mine, if you show me yours.

Chapter 29 is kicking my ass. I will try to tame it tonight.

I managed to get back to the place I was in 29 before ripping up a lot of it and redoing. I woke up all ready to work on it, but knew I wouldn't get a chance for at least 12 hours and realistically 15 hours. Frustrating.

I'm back on track for Chapter 29 and moving ahead. I feel like I'm burning through too many words getting to the ending, bringing up the specter of 31 chapters instead of 30. Look characters, I know you've got some personal and political issues to work out, but I've got an army I need to get moving.

Because books.

Have we seen this? Looks like an awesome way to waste time play with words and ideas.

In the home stretch, Gud! Awesome.

I got some good writing time last night. Chapter 29 is done. Now for the final chapter. Of course, it might the final two chapters if I decide to split it later. I'm now at 165,000 words.

Go, Gud! I am excited for you to finish the draft. Yay!

I keep having to go through the files of previous chapters to look stuff up. It's slowing me down. But I'm at least a third of the way through that final chapter.

Oh, I always write in one continuous file. I'm way to lazy to merge them all later.

I just use a master document to tie them all together.
