I found the natural place to split chapter 6 and finished revising both halves. I’ve labeled it 6a for now, assuming I’ll end up renumbering later anyhow.

I’ve been doing some heavy shuffling of scenes to get them to fall into place. On the plus side, I think it’s made things more exciting. On the down side Chapter 6 now seems to be almost 9000 words long. It was already one of the longer chapters, and it now contains some of the sections I cut from earlier in the book. It’s not a huge deal. I just need to find the right place to split it.

I hoped to finish Chapter 6 this morning, but I went back over the first five chapters and plugged them into a calender to make sure all the times made sense. I had to make some adjustments, but now everything is falling into place where I had hoped.

Another chapter down. This is the first time in a while I’ve managed to have enough time during a weekday to get much done. I’m pretty sure that’s it for today. I need to come up with a title for this thing soon.

It was a busy week with the holiday. I haven’t had any time since I posted last, but I finished revising Chapter 4 this morning. I hope to get to Chapter 5 today. We’ll see.

I moved about half of Chapter 3 to a spot later in the book, and rewrote the remains around it. The chapter that remains is a bit shorter than I’d like, but I’m not seeing any obvious way to remedy it, so it’s done for now. We’ll see what happens when I drop the other section back in.

I set the alarm for 5 today so I could get some work done on the book before the family is up and about. Took me a bit to clear my head and catch up on email and such, but I’m diving in now. Wish me luck!
