I'm going to let the nice fellow play with the computer for a while. I'm going to grout the tile on the wall above the breakfast nook and do some other things, and then I will claim the computer again and write the rest of this chapter. (chapter five) I've gotten my guy down to the desert and stranded in a truck stop, and here is my truck driver! The next part is pretty easy to write, so I should top the 2500 mark today and finish this chapter with no problem.
But I don't think I'm getting all the way through the man at the bar -- I think that will have to be its own chapter, and I don't mind, because by my calculations, that would mean that the Boss would appear about page 45. For the rhythm of the story, that would be about right, because if the Boss and the flashbacks take up about a third of the book, and the events leading to Candelario and after meeting Candelario take up half the book, the book would be 250-275 pages at that rate.
