Light At the End of the Tunnel...

I think I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. (Dang, my fingers are moving swiftly this morning. Where'd that come from?!?! LOL)

Isn't this a beautiful little archway path? Oh, If only everything here were so green and alive. I think I'm heading in the right direction though.

See the sunlight up ahead? Yes..that's lovely, isn't it?

For me it's because the past couple of days I added a few more scenes and a chapter and now I'm readjusting the chapters(again) to break them up a little more evenly to get the chapter count I want- to match the previous story in the series.

Things around here have calmed down drastically since all the hullabaloo we dealt with for a couple of weeks with the kid issues. Probably the reason I'm making some progress with this manuscript.

Though I know I still have more to do on the revisions, I'm really enjoying doing the read through and feel like I know my characters even better than I did when I originally wrote the first draft. I'm working with one of my favorite heroines, as it is. She is the one who wouldn't shut up when I was working on her sister's story. The one who wanted to talk to me so desperately, she had a tendency to keep me up at night with tidbits about her life- her story.

Doesn't hurt that, in my mind- her hero kind of favors Tim McGraw. Yummy!

So, anyway...I'm going to take a nice little stroll down the lane and finish up the work I need to do. Have a wonderful Friday!

Good for you, on the writing, Taryn!

I'm glad things have settled down for the kids, too. Growing up is rough--both doing it and watching it.

I just have to ask--did you draw the archway with your nifty software? If so, you've made huge strides on that.

Thanks Magdalena!

no...didn't make the archway with my software- I wish!

(Took Devon's advice and went searching for some usage free images)
