Title: The scene is done

LKH's words in italics, mine not.

The scene is done, yea! There is always a scene that will not die. And I'm always happy when it's behind me. I'm either half way or a little more than half way done with DANSE MACABRE. Yea!

But is there a plot yet?

I would have said I was a third of the way done, but Edward hasn't come on stage and I know that until he hits the page I won't really know how long the book is going to be.

I'll take that as a no.

But we are still chapters away from Edward's appearance, and that scares me about the length of the book.

Yeah, me too.

Enough of this, I can only write the pages for this day. I have to let the pages for later wait for later.

So you write your entire book straight through, no stops to actually write down ideas for later in the book that are stuck in your head? That is how alot of people mess up, in my opinion. If I did that, I'd never finish a story. If an idea for the story comes to me, I write it and make the story lead to it, even if it takes a while. But then, what do I know, I'm not a published author.

I did thirteen pages today, which is more than I've done since before I left for Chicago. I hope I'm getting back into the groove. We'll see.

If we are lucky, you will have gotten back to actually writing a decent book, too!

Well, there's the long hair, and then there's Dolph who, everytime he appears in her books, I think, "Ooooooh, I bet his hair is cut so short on the sides that it leaves his ears stranded!"

okay, the day that anita fucks dolph I will officially stop reading the series. That just gave me the nastiest mental image ever. But you know what? your probably right. Sad as that is to admit.
