Time and the little bit I have of it...

First, let me say that my Internet provider went kattiewampus yesterday late afternoon sometime only to come back to life this afternoon. Did anyone miss me? Maybe one person? I did pay the bill this time. (LOL) Honest Injun.

I'm currently done with my first revision of Chapter two. Or rather maybe instead of a revision I should call it piecing together Chapter two. I'm not sure what the correct terminology would be. Either way it still needs two more revisions after this one and I'm still not sure about one character in particular and whether her reactions and voice ring true to me. Still scratching my head on that one. But the good part is coming up in Chapter Three where some really nasty creatures show up and my lovely lead is going to have to engage. She really doesn't have a choice. Pity. I've found though that most of the hard choices in life are not really choices at all. Nine times out of ten you have one of two types of situations. Either a carrot is dangling in front of a person to get them moving (normally forward) or you've lit a fire under someones rumpus (not necessarily guaranteed to move an individual forward, sometimes it has the opposite effect and they scurry backwards.) Most of the time these things encourage movement of some kind. My lead would be facing the latter.

Which is kind of fun.

The second thing that I found while I was thinking and making notes on Chapter three and what specifically I wanted to accomplish in this chapter, was the fact that I'm unconsciously following the heroes journey. I say that because I wasn't intentionally thinking along those lines. But maybe I've studied it so long that now it's ingrained in my brain.

So this weekend I aim to have Chapter three taken care and sent on its merry way through cyber space. Everyone leaves on Sunday so I should have some good work time Sunday afternoon.

On a personal note, which relates to the title of this blog post I find myself asking "Where does my time go?" I'm going to have to do a time management study on myself. Granted, I'm still trying to get used to this whole not working thing. Which is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I pretty much gave myself permission to goof off the month of July. Now it's time to get back to work. Then at the end of this month school starts back up and as I home school that means I've got to get my butt in gear there too. Challenges. I've always loved them.

I won't be posting again until Sunday night so I hope everyone has a great Saturday!
