Had a hard time visualizing my chapter yesterday. Basically the last face-to-face between the protagonist and the Devil. Mostly dialogue with a little bit of action.
It was what I call a jigsaw chapter, in that it came in bits and pieces which I had to put together.
I was in doubt of it until I read it to Linda this morning, and it sounded pretty good, and Linda really liked it. She's liked the whole book so far.
Went walking again yesterday. I haven't been keeping track but it's been almost every day this month.
It's supposed to drop down into the teens by tomorrow, so today may be my last walk for awhile.
It is very helpful to my writing. I give myself the whole walk to just float, wait for ideas. If they clamor too much, I plop myself on the desert sand or rocks and I pull out my laptop.
I have three chapters visualized in my head -- and need four chapters. But I'm not too worried. Either another chapter will come, or I'll do a quick rewrite to get the other 2000 words I want.
Coming in for landing.
