Chapter 10 is in the bag with 6,902 words. Two days, 6,902 words, just a bit too much. I watched an interview quite a while ago of an author who only wrote no more than 1,500 words a day. I’m definitely exceeding that rule, but as I’ve said before, this is a good story with a good set of characters who work well together, sometimes. Chapter 10 is one of those heartwarming stories. This book has a lot of those.

Coming up, Chapter 11 will concern a young girl who leaves her boyfriend and goes off to university. There she’ll meet a new boy. They’ll become friends. They’ll become good friends. They’ll become girlfriend/boyfriend. Then love will blossom. And, then she’ll go home for the holidays. Old story to be rehashed again.

Chapter 12 looks like husband/husband trouble.

Chapter 13 is looking like woman on woman rape and the consequences.

Chapter 14 will have an important decision occurring for protagonist in Chapter 11.

Chapter 15 will have two young women moving into their own residence, two men getting married, and a woman and a man getting married.

And then it all becomes fuzzy, again. Though I do know a future chapter will have two new residents moving to the commune.

I’m still thinking I need to create a new character though and put him/her into a living situation that has not been covered so far in the book.

On the home front, got my new glasses yesterday. I’d told the optometrist I thought I could do without bifocals because I did all my computer work on a laptop. So, although I can now see significantly better long distance, I think I should’ve gotten those bifocals. I can see fairly well without glasses up close to read and use the laptop, but it’s the middle difference that’s the problem. It’s a bummer being on the shady side of life.
