Smelling the barn

I hammered out another chapter yesterday leaving me two or three left.  It is rough, but all the elements I wanted are there, and it is a good base to build on.  I can better see what I need to do, I guess.  I took most of yesterday afternoon sketching today’s work out so that the chapter after that does what I want.  These last two are tricky, more tricky than usual.  -shrug-  Rachel has a lot on her mind, and it’s going to be a cold slap when it hits her.

I’m hopeful that by seeing the end things might go a little faster, sort of like tired horses steps it up when they know they are almost to the barn.

At least the heat has broken for a day or two.  We topped out somewhere around 88 yesterday, and I swear, it felt pleasant after the 100 degrees we’d been having lately.
