Bouncing improves the quality of my writing.
do you bounce while writing? that's impressive.

LOL! I meant bouncing on the INSIDE.
I'm probably the only parent in Harbor Beach MI who DIDN'T want their teenager to get a job this summer. They have their whole lives to be responsible and boring!
It's making me feel a whole lot better about my son, who does well in school but spends way too much time playing computer games.
Leaving for vacation today, I hope. My hubby is sick in bed and may not be able to fly. Arg. It's going to be a stressful day.
Good luck on your vacation plans Sheila! Hope hubby is better. We leave for vay cay on Saturday, no plane involved though and darn 16 year old daughter is ruining things. She insisted on getting a job this summer so she could have her own money and not bug Mom about it. Who went and made her responsible?!! Now she can't come with us because she has to work and I am not happy!! I'm probably the only parent in Harbor Beach MI who DIDN'T want their teenager to get a job this summer.

2: chapter 20 is finally taking shape! I swear, I have never worked so long on a single chapter ever. At least 3 weeks on this sucker. I was cruising along, editing and revising little pieces here and there, then I came across a chapter that was entirely dead weight. Nothing happened to forward the plot. The whole thing had to go. But, because I'm writing from several alternating POVs, I couldn't just cut it out and move on. I had to replace it with something. Without adding something that would screw up the 22 chapters that follow it...
Talk about tricky. I had to try and throw out so many ideas before I hit on the right one. But now, finally, I've found it. Now the scene adds tension, and gives Barnaby a whole new set of reasons for the things he does later on. More people that he thinks he's protecting.
Phew.
