okay, I'm rolling (888 words)

2000 for the chapter, about. This is only going to be about 3000 words, then the next piece which starts the early time line I think is 5000 words, then the long chapter that starts the later time line is really long.

It's going okay but I have this suspicion that I wrote it better before. I can't let that bother me, though.

the shape of things to come

( outlining for me )

It doesn't matter if I know the thing word for word by heart, it will change in the writing. I've streamlined the story considerably.
