yes indeed chapter 17 is finished and chapter 18 must commence because we already have a part of chapter 18 outline because as it turns out as is always the case my outline for chapter 17 was too long for one chapter and so now a part of it must be moved to chapter 18 which might end up being rather short or just the right size really i don’t know. also then there is the problem of outlining what happens after chapter 18 but really i shouldn’t worry about that until after chapter 18 has been written. also my chest is hurting greatly idk, if it’s from the way i’ve been sitting hunched over my laptop or if it’s from the anxiety of writing which always could be the case idk idk idk. but in short we have finished chapter 17. it might be the fact that i’m not totally in love with chapter 17 as of right now as i think it might be entirely too much dialogue but it is necessary dialogue. like all of this needs to be said. they need to hash out their feelings and tbh once this is done i can throw in some unnecessary action afterwards. the character development is what is most important. and the characters are for sure developing. all shall happen this shall be good. inshallah this first draft of the book will be finished. and then we must revise. i think it’s also the future revisions that are looming over my head that are killing me. YIKES! okay but given that i’ve finished a chapter today i’m going to take a break, re-work the coverletter and resume and submit that. and then iA we shall move forward in all directions. beautiful.
