Finally, it’s nearly done.

The manuscript for a novella I’ve been screwing around with for quite a while now.
It’s been written, re-written, queried, lost in slush, re-done, re-plotted…but it’s nearly done.

I just trashed a whole chapter, re-wrote it and half of another. The sub-plot seemed too weak to me, so I decided to strengthen it a bit and give the secondary female character a little more to do.

And lo and behold—the cow just took her tiny slice of story and RAN with it! RAN, I tell you, as in virtually tried to take over the book!! :shock:

Her story’s pretty well complete within these pages, so there was no thought of giving her her own. I just hope the sub-story doesn’t overshadow the main one. It was meant to be a bit of “comic relief” from the intensity of the other…

But boy, I’m telling you…you can’t even trust your own characters! :nonono:
What’s the world coming to?

BTW—Dennie’s started a contest with neat giveaways and an open forum to post excerpts at the CHICAS site. Go forth! :yesyesyes:
