writing is good.

I got the chapter done almost despite myself. I really had to cajole myself into hitting 1500 words (from the 1300 I’d had), but after that I sort of finished it by surprise. But being surprised that way is nice! :) If I’m Hideous Cool, I’ll write a couple more chapters for the proposal, but I need to rewrite the first chapter first.

By the end of the 3rd chapter, something I wasn’t expecting happened, so I’m looking forward to exploring the consequences of that. Which is probably part of why I’m hoping to be Hideous Cool and write some more chapters. :)

Went for my walk (told Ted I was going for a walk and oh Chanti looked *so* hopeful, and *so* sad when I didn’t bring her!) and met a young woman who I have no recollection of seeing, but who commented extensively on my hats and my large dog, so clearly she has seen me even if I haven’t actively observed her. She asked what I did (we walked the last half mile or so home together, as she lives around the corner) and her jaw nearly fell off when I said I was a writer and my first book would be out in a couple of months. That was cool. :)
