....but surely. I decided to switch POV’s- from third to first, and its been a lengthy process, but the prologue is entirely converted, plus another two thousand words have been added. I have taken a general liking to the tone I have been using, but I know there is still a lot of bullshit to sift through.
I’ve set a date to be done with the first draft- April 23rd, and I want to have it entirely edited, in the first person, and at 100,000 words by then. My reward is going to be a homecooked dinner by my lovely. My consequence of not finishing will be giving up the internetz for a week.

I sat down last night and looked at the challenge before me. Chapter 22 is the very beginning of the relationsip, chapter 23 is, quite literally, the end of the novel. (Or at least the beginning of the chapters of the end.) I have five years to cover between those chapters and I am not looking forward to it so much.
But I told various people it would be ready to read/criticize in a few weeks, so I guess I will just have to man up and hope it comes out all right. Aside from the big time gap, I also have to edit for character, grammar, and continuity. There are a few scenes that need to get trimmed down and a few scenes that need to be finished.
I’d better get started on this.
