Well, this week has been ... a week. I live in the United States and obviously we are in the midst of a lot of social upheavals right now and many other nations are watching us. I have strong feelings about it but Storiesonline isn't the platform for that. You can find me on social media if you want my opinions on that. (seems unlikely that you do) Then I got hit with three separate small health issues at once. I'm over them now but I feel like Wil E. Coyote with the truck having run him over.
How it impacted writing The Pool Girl is that I really didn't feel like writing for a week. On Sunday I found some desire to write again and am well into chapter 17 at this point. I expect to have it done by the real world weekend. I had expected the fictional weekend to be condensed into the chapter but right now there was enough to cover just on Friday that it's the full chapter. I think it's a fun light-hearted chapter for the most part with one significant moment and found it, oddly, good therapy writing it in the bleakness of the world.
I look forward to putting it out.
