A good day at 5,500 words and I finished the last chapter. I've got a
couple of additions to put in and the Epilogue to tie up all the loose ends
still to do. I hope to get that all done and have the first draft
completed by end of play Friday. Wow, it's a big thing, particularly
given the low point I was at last week.
When I'm not sure about a word or phrase I'll google it to make sure it's
real or makes sense and isn't just me making stuff up. I wanted to use
the phrase 'spidering out' to describe lots of little cracks. Do you know
what the first item was on google? 'How do you get a spider out of your
vagina?' It kind of surprised me and I have to be honest, I almost spat
out my tea across the computer. Unfortunately, I do that on
occasion. A mate of mine once said something particularly funny in a pub
and got covered in beer. Needless to say that the next round was on me.
I suddenly realised last night that I had left a character out. He was
just not doing anything. Fortunately it's an easy if painstaking
fix. I need to switch him with someone else, their male so only the names
to do and a few things they say. Hopefully no one will notice he's been
show horned in.
It's karate night so I need to rush off.
Total now at 135,000 words. The end is in sight.
