Another chapter done. Jacob is close to breaking out, then reunion, one more challenge, one more confrontation and we're at the end. It's odd (or curious) but I feel reluctant to end it. I've been working on this story for a little over two months but it's become such a part of my life it's hard to let it go. Not that I am letting it go. After this, the harder work begins: revising.
In any case, I should be done with the first draft by Friday, life permitting. It's interesting but when I was in 'crunch mode', I was a lot more productive. I could have finished this, oh, ten days ago if I'd kept up my 'no life, just write' schedule. I wonder if I should do that next time. Just stay in that mode until I'm done, rather than treating it like a game. 'Oh well, I tried, I lost, good game' and back to my old, time-wasting life. I'm afraid I'm still an amateur (which goes without saying since I haven't published anything yet) but I'm getting better.
