Uh oh....

So in my efforts to write Jason's chapters, a new character was born and I'm not sure if I like her yet. Though, she is working hard to finally help me develop some character, though I think she should develop herself if she's going to be sticking around for awhile. I'll see how this turns out, and hopefully I won't have to scrap the whole endeavour when I realize how bad of an idea it was. Then again, I need a few more women in my story. It's a little lop-sided at the moment.

Welcome to the cast Kelly Garth. May your pig-tails and chipper attitude survive the final cuts.

Meanwhile...I seem to be writing three chapters at once. I can tell this is going to end well. Before you know it, characters and events will be crossing space and time to invade other parts of the story they are not welcome in. I'm looking at you Kelly.

Budding

The monster chapter became two chapters. The only problem is that I need to change my plans for chapter 18 and what I'm writing about there. I think I might have to switch the OH I JUST THOUGHT OF WHAT I COULD DO. I might just be a genius at 1:30 in the morning. Of course this means I need to finish chapter 12 finally, but that's OK. Well maybe not. I haven't been so stuck on anything I've written in my life. Ugh. Regardless, I have an entire interlude to complete before that has to see the light of day. Perhaps I should begin meditating on this section a little more and it'll come to me. Anyway, I just thought I'd say I'm about a paragraph and a few lines of dialogue from finally finishing chapter 16, which is now also chapter 17. I will be moving on after tonight.

Also, current word count: 115,488 and page count: 206

We're well into the latter half now folks. For the first time ever I can see a conclusion to this work in the near future.
