I managed to find a groove and finished a couple of chapters tonight for a total of 5460 words written in this session.  I'm tired now and as much as I would like to go on (I write best at night in the hour of the wolf) I'm too tired to make much sense out of anything that will come now.

If I make a concentrated push, I believe I can finish in the next couple of days.  It won't be the end of the book, no, I'm only partway through the story now but I'm beyond the end of the beginning and into the part where the actual ending is able to come together organically.  I will have to really edit it in the end but the muse and I are getting there.

I will finish this, even if just to say I did it.

Abrupt Left Turn

It finally happened.  My muses have ganged up on me and taken over the plot of the story and are steering in a different direction than I had expected it to go.  It will still end the same way with the same realizations on the part of my protagonist but the route he takes and the guide he has to get there are unexpected.

Someone who was meant to be big part of the second third of the book has diminished in size.  Someone who was supposed to remain part of the first third has stepped in with a larger voice to lead the way.

I'm a little surprised and eager to find out where we are going today.  Already laid in 1000 words and just taking a break now to go out for a walk and see if the sunlight helps me figure anything else out.
