Four Down, Five Next!

Yay! I *love* how my writing is going at the moment! I thought I was going to be busy doing something else this evening, but plans changed and as the bloke volunteered to cook dinner, I've been sitting in the armchair -- iPod on playing my non-intrusive chillout/classical "Writing" mix -- tapping away.

I've finished chapter 4 --another 2,000 words, making the total for this chapter 4,250!

Yay me, yay me!

I wonder if my new house has been built on some great writer-vibe site? Like a less skeletal and more bookish version of Poltergeist?

So next up is chapter five: the point I have never reached beyond. If I can complete chapter 5, I am going to celebrate. It seems like an odd point to throw a self-congratulatory party, but for me, 5 is a big milestone. Hmm, I'll have to start thinking of something to treat myself with. If only I had Jason Statham's telephone number...

You have to finish a manuscript, you know? Even if it's the hardest thing... I spent years writing novels which I abandoned at chapters 3/4/5... never got beyond chapter 5. Basically because I don't think I had enough plot. I hadn't really thought out the story arc. But then I just forced myself to KEEP WRITING. Good luck.
