I achieved Chapter 5 today, completely rewritten, including the change of point-of-view character. I think it’s MUCH better now, and should lead me easily into chapter 6, which hopefully doesn’t need nearly as much work…we’ll see!
I rewarded myself with more time than usual lying on the couch and reading, and also working on a small art project, of which I am perhaps unjustifiably proud, but hey, I did it and it’s mine. 🙂
Also–I have a screen door again! The screen that came with my new back door was pathetically flimsy, and fell apart nearly at once. My contractor cheerfully set about replacing it, but the supplier took weeks to cooperate…just when the weather finally turned nice. But now! Screen door! Back door open, and no mosquitoes coming in!
All that, plus the usual swimming, gardening, and whatnot, appears to have made a full day.
