It's been a hard week to write. I like to sit outside and write but the weather has been awful. Two friends have come down with COVID-19, both in the hospital. Neither lives near me but my thoughts are with them. Despite all the hard things in the world I enjoy returning to the story. Part of me just wants to not worry about the story and write them having fun, perhaps as an antidote the bleakness in the world. Honestly, I'm lucky. My family is safe and well. I try to think about that.
I've also been working on a non-erotic piece. I may post it here, I don't know if there's interest. It's modern southern gothic with a little bit of supernatural. That's neither here nor there though.
So, I found myself really time-crunched but wanting to finish up chapter 20 for posting soon. I'm having trouble with the end scene, so, I decided to cheat. I had intended chapter 20 to be all of Sunday. Instead, it's going to be half the day as I did with Saturday. The good news then is that Chapter 21 is close to being ready for Pertinax to proof as well. There isn't going to be much sex in chapter 20, a lot more in what will be 21. It's a 'light' chapter but fun character interaction and we see more of Lavi's personality. When I started the story I didn't even have Lavi as a character, now I can't imagine her not with Melissa and Robert.
My plan then is for chapter 22 to be the rest of the week including the pool party. That will wrap up 'book 1' and we will then move into 'book 2' as the school year begins.
