Story Progress

Yesterday we spent most of the day tiling our bathroom shower floor. We've been working on this bathroom remodel since January and we're SO ready for it to be done. *sigh* Also, I felt really sick all day and we had to call it quits early. I showered, slept for a couple of hours, then lay on the couch the rest of the evening moaning about how icky I felt. My poor wife was so sweet and put up with all my whining and complaining.

However, I got a lot of rest last night thanks to a couple of sleeping pills and the grim determination to make my brain STOP chattering, at least for a few hours, about Ithyria. :P Today Shasta's off playing a football game (my wife Shasta, of course, not Princess Shasta… hehe) and so I have the whole day, and the whole house, all to myself for writing.

I just finished Chapter Eight. *does a happydance around her living room* One more and I'll be nearly halfway through the book. Very pleased with how the story's progressing so far — the action's been far less cumbersome and awkward to write than I'd anticpiated, and the dialogue-heavy scenes of Chapter Eight still flow smoothly enough that I don't think they'll need a lot of major surgery in edits…

Going to take a little break now for some lunch and maybe some coffee, then dive into Chapter Nine.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend!
