The End is Near
I'm really kinda, sorta hoping that the final (really, really really final) chapter of TQSiT will be up on Friday. Or Saturday. Maybe Sunday. I'm at about 10,000 words and I'm guessing I'm about 60 - 70% done, trying to remember everything I wanted to include and sure I'm going to forget something. (Speaking of, if you are reading this and have been thinking, You know, Ruth really needs to do blah blah blah before the end, could you let me know?)
I also have a glimpse into Part 3 -- about 2,300 words of quotes, history, and scraps of dialogue. It's a glimpse, nothing more, because, before I begin writing it in earnest, I have a heck of a lot of planning and outlining. This is distressing as I typically work from outlines that say things like "Rule of Threes" or "Funeral." Not so much on the detail which tells you just how little of Part 3 I have committed to hard drive.
So at the moment, Tebbitt and Susan are preparing for their talk that you knew had to come at the end of the last chapter with (yet another) shoe dropping, on Tebbitt's head. I've had a working version of this scene for about 6 months and it's not working anymore. I had him very angry and Susan self-protective, defensive and a little scornful. I think he's feeling a huge measure of degenerate self disgust.
Anyhow, onward and if you have any thoughts or observations, I always appreciate them..
