​Great news! I’m nearly finished a chapter I have been working on since November. You’re probably wondering why it would take me so long to work on one chapter that long. Well, I had to keep returning to that chapter because back in November it was nearly finished and then my computer had an update and as my file was saving on a flash drive, it erased my entire file. Luckily, I had plenty of backups of the manuscript but not that chapter I had updated. I was really upset and had to abandon that chapter and move on before I was able to go back to it. I had to rewrite it several times, trying to get it as perfect as it had been before, and it was depressing. But now that I had help from my husband and writing group friends it’s been easier to tackle. I can’t wait until it’s finished! I won’t have to keep going back to it and I’ll be proud of my achievement. Plus, if my readers really enjoy this chapter that in itself is wonderful. I hope you like it. It’s a mix of my chapters 3 and 4. It used to only be chapter 3, but I had to expand it. So, once you read those two chapters, just know it was a lot of work for me to make it just right for it to be a great chapter – and hopefully help and inspire other readers and writers out there to never give up.
