4,156 words is like a marathon

When I finish with a particularly difficult chapter I feel like I should be taking out the cigarettes, you know? lol

I’ve been muttering and bitching about needing to rewrite Chapter 2 for a few days and I finally did it. I knew what was going to happen in the chapter, so the hardest part was theoretically done, but unfortunately it was difficult dialog and difficult character development — it just turned out to be difficult. And longer than I initially thought, in fact a scene I was going to include in Chapter 2 will now have to be written into Chapter 3 or it would have become way too long.

But, I finally finished it and I actually feel tired and triumphant, like after a good run or a good visit to the gym. And now that I’m still “on fire,” I’m going straight to Chapter 3 (which will also need to be rewritten now).
