It’s always easier to start something than to finish it. I can sit here right now (I am in fact) and throw down the first few lines of a new project that’s been marinating in my head for a few weeks. Might be a short, night be a novella, might be a whole new novel. Anyway, it’s easy to start. Because it’s new and you can put whatever you want without the critical voice saying “no, that’s not in line with _____”

Meanwhile, I’m still sloughing through Chapter 13. I think I under-outlined it. I might cull some in editing. I don’t know. But I put in some solid work yesterday.

I keep saying the end is in sight. But I still have to walk there.
