I got 58 knocked out, 59 is almost knocked out, and 60 is started. I've got a bad feeling about 60, there's some stuff I want to rush through at the beginning of 60 because I need to glue together the meat of 60 with the end of 59. I might be rushing a bit too much though. I'm tempted to let it be rushed with this revision and rethink it later.
Getting closer though, once I get through 60 (or maybe 60 and 61) I'll be pasting on the rough draft's conclusion with some non-trivial polishing and then this revision is done.
Still pushing to get done. I'm well into 60 now, but there is still a fair amount to happen the chapter. Splitting seems likely.
No progress last night. I had to work late and that wiped out my time. Hopefully I can make a bit of progress tonight. I've still got an outside chance of getting through to the end this weekend, but most likely I'll slip past that.
Also, I got a bit of feedback on Book 1, always cool. Good stuff, I'll probably act on all the weak areas mentioned. It was exciting to read that a couple of things I was trying to achieve worked out for the reader.
I got more of 60 written and it's already as big as most of my chapters even thought there is still a lot to cover. It'll probably be split. It looks like 62 won't be the last chapter after all.
My wife found a big mistake in chapter 6, something totally implausible. I can't believe I didn't think of it, but then I changed things from the rough draft so I think the scene used to be plausible. I'm glad she caught it though. She loves to catch stuff like that.
Speaking of plausibility. I listened to an Atlanta airport scene in my Lee Child audio book. I don't know the Atlanta airport, but I totally didn't buy the scene regardless. The book is still a good listen, I just had to shrug off that scene.
Um, anyone interested in reading a short (2K words) of the New Project?
It's not at any kind of needing critique stage yet-- just more a general impressions sort of thing, especially since it's such a new beast for me.
I am, Barb. Assuming you don't need super fast turnaround (ie - it might have to wait until this evening).
I could do it this weekend.
I can do it later this evening, Barb.
