I was right!

I don't get to say that very often, either. Okay, I do, but I was trying to be modest. *vbg*

Anyway, I was absolutely right about backtracking & starting Chapter 12 just a little differently than I had Wednesday. As soon as I cut the last paragraph of Chapter 11 & went at 12 from a new direction, the scene positively flowed. I'm on page 11 of Chapter 12 already, so only a handful more to go before I am D-O-N-E. Except for a possible epilogue, of course. I haven't decided yet whether or not I'll include one--probably because I don't have a specific idea in mind to carry one off. But I'll deal with that later.

I'd have gotten even more written yesterday, too, if a certain whiny, yellow-haired kitty hadn't desperately needed to crawl up on my lap & go to sleep. Since it's Spring now--rapidly spilling into Summer, if the heat is any indication--I've had the windows open a lot, & he hates that because he remembers being an outdoor cat & wants out again like nobody's business. :-P Too bad, so sad. He is an indoor kitty now, & will have to content himself with sitting in front of the screens only smelling birds & bunnies instead of chasing (& usually catching) them.

Speaking of bunnies, the babies are back. They're so small, I swear they'd fit in the palm of my hand, & they sit outside the windows, chomping grass & dandelion stems like crazy. The cats love watching them...but only because they're fantasizing about breaking free & eating the little buggers. It's very entertaining to watch. :-D

I've already biked, showered, & gotten breakfast, so now it's time to get down to business. I wanted to get straight to writing & finish the damn book, but it turns out the Art Fact Sheet for BLACKMAILED INTO BED is due ASAP, so I may have to take a couple of hours this morning to fill that out. I'm hoping they'll give me until Monday, tho, because I'm currently clueless.
