Ran out of time to post yesterday and veered a bit from the schedule.
Instead of writing chapter 21, I edited chapters three through five, nearly 100 pages of text I had written from June 2015 through early January 2016.
I veered for two reasons.
These two chapters form the basis of Bryony's earliest years and set her personality and environment. As I ventured deeper into the fifth novel, I felt I needed to reconnect with those early days so I didn't lose my way.
However, it does mean I will need to write two chapters today and two on Friday, the only two complete days I have left for writing. Joshua and the kids are (in theory) coming over Thursday afternoon to swim; I have Riley's second birthday on Saturday afternoon; and church on Sunday morning.
I'll post my progress of Day Three at the end of today.
Armed with coffee, imagination, and drive, here I go.
