My brain hurts.
I didn't quite get two entire chapters done today but not for lack of trying. I'm averaging about fourteen hours of writing time a day, so the process can only move so fast.
Tomorrow, some of the grandchildren are coming to swim for a couple of hours, so I will lose that writing time (and gain even more precious time, I know).
Before closing out for the night, I labeled the different "arcs" in chapters 21, 22 and 23 to help keep me focused. I will concentrate on each arc and then take a short break before moving to the next. I'm hoping this will help.
I doubt I will get all the way through chapter 23 tomorrow. Chapter 24 is complicated, but chapters 25 and 26 are short and straightforward.
The goal was to complete chapter 27 by Sunday night.
I'm keeping in mind I lost last weekend. And I absolutely refuse (to quote Henry is chapter 27, heh, heh) to "rush it."
If I can finish through chapter 26 and edit most of novel number three, I will consider the retreat successful.
And with that, I have chapter six in novel number three to edit before I call it a night.
