I've just submitted the next chapter of The Dream, warts and all. It kind of went a little over what I'd planned as far as length goes for this chapter but the next chapter is probably going to be quite long as well. That said, things are coming to a head in the family as dysfunction leads to a crazy sort of functionality.
I was worried that the characters would too easily accept and agree with anything dad said but in a way, I've just been along for the ride myself. This whole book has been a prequel to Eddie Davidson's Home Owners Association story. The characters have a life of their own and they tend to surprise me even though I'm the one writing this stuff down. The teens have accepted things that surprised me as much as being rocked by things I thought would be inconsequential.
I really hope those few of you who read it enjoy the chapter and as usual, I'm wide open to feedback.
