Chapter 24 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary takes Arlene for a ride in his new car. Arlene makes discoveries and reveals some of her past.
I was surprised at how talky this chapter became. I never felt that writing dialog was a strength, but the characters just kind of took over in this one.
Things start picking up after this chapter. I'm pretty much done with Chapter 35 and finally worked my way through a major sticking point that was keeping me from connecting bits of the story. I think it flows rather well now, or at least makes some kind of sense.
Readership remains strong, surpassing 91,000 downloads. The score has slipped a little, but still remains higher than a week ago. again, thanks for reading.
Forgot to add: Internet service has resumed. I should be able to avoid any disruptions.
