Chapter 11 of Best Summer Ever is up as we begin a new week. I'm looking forward to to seeing what we can get done over the next seven days. Gary and Kacie finally get around to trying new things, some big news for Kacie, Morgan makes a cameo, Gary gets lectured by Mom, it's Dad's turn to cook and there's more of the Great Pineapple Caper.
No real surprises, just a few little flourishes that added themselves to the story. I basically outlined Point A and Point B, then let the characters figure out how to get from here to there without being too contrived. This chapter covered a couple of those plot points that have been piling up.
I continue to be amazed by the story's performance on the lists. It's averaged almost 4,000 downloads per day. I just hope I can keep readers interested. The scoring also has me intrigued. It took a couple of days to get started, steadily crept up to a high of 7.66, dropped to 7.49 and is back to 7.54. That's a consistent good-to-very-good rating, which is a bit of an ego boost.
