Chapter Seven!!!

At long, long, long, long, long, long last!

I think I had a bit of a writing burp there. Man I did NOT want to keep writing this story. I had gotten a bit off the track of the outline, and I couldn't see how it was going to continue.

But it finally came to me.

It does mean that Chapter Seven is a bit uneven with the rest of the book. The last several chapters were all about one night in the lives of Maggie and Glen. And then all of a sudden, I realized, they'd had sex, had breakfast the next morning, and had...ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT FORWARD IN THE PLOT.

As is terms of outside influences affecting the hero and heroine.

I'd focussed so intensely upon getting the two of them together and then in the sack that I lost sight of all the external plot devices that could be going on.

Anyway, after a bit of a choppy chapter, the plot is alive and cooking, and needless to say, I think I now know how I'm going to get through to the end.

It may even end the way I had originally planned.

Althought the journey is turning out to be somewhat different.

Hmmm.

I think there's a life lesson in there somewhere.
