the unveiling

Yes, today the readers find out who is at the door! lol Some have guessed it.

today is the day I defalcon the man chasing the Alliance. What will the readers think? I never gave them a real clue in my comments. I am still messing with the ending. I do deliberate over and over again some simple stuff. Today it is the ending of this chapter.

Cuffage is another person that gets unveiled.

But before we get to the ID's we have to get Darcy through the rest of his re-education program. Sort of an intervention, would you not agree.

And the letter ! of Course that has to be read and today is the day. How it gets found and gets read is in keeping with this chapter. lol

Poor, poor Darcy. So much happens this day and this day covers 3 chapters. First the carriage ride home and Kent, all in the morning, the afternoon is today and the evening is next Tuesday. But then so many questions will be answered and everyone will understand why I have been so cadgey about my responses. lol

Chapter 49 is two parts and I don't know if I will post both parts at the same time. Some people do not like long, long chapters and this would make them read over 10,000 words. Too many. I may however, post a couple days later for Part B.

Chapter 50 is also long. but then endings usually are. I have much work to do on it. I read it last night and groaned - out loud - my draft is pitifully shallow. It will take at least a week for me to flush it all out. So, depending upon how quickly I can finish Chapter 50 will decide how quickly I will post Chapter 49 Part B.

The epilogue is also a wreck. I also have to make a few changes in order for my Book III to work, but now that I have thought about it, these final chapters are necessary to complete the story. So instead of a couple paragraphs in the epilogue I will provide 10 chapters and yes, angst will exist.

Book III will not be posted until such time as the whole thing is finished. I mean really finished. No more polishing, etc. And I doubt I will be able to post at DWG since there are no-no's which I would possibly want to include. I don't think I will impose upon my beta's this time. They have certainly helped me so much that I feel like I would be asking too much for more help.

The outline is finished for Book III of course I realize my outlines change as I write.

Ah, but then I will be in Florida and everything will be warm and sunny while I find some time to write. I do some of my best writing there. I look forward to sitting on the Lanai beside the pool while the sun comes up. My laptop will be burning from the speed of my fingers. I find when I have something to write and it invades my sleep it is best to get it down on paper.

My muse refuses to let me touch anything else, such as Wretched Beginnings and Turning Points until this story is finished.

Next year I will begin the process of converting the story into a book. Of course I will have to shorten the story and I will probably begin with Darcy and Bingley discussing how to get their friends to go to Netherfield Park and Bingley comes up with the Olympics so invitations go out for that while Darcy and Bingley secretly want to do the business stuff. First they need to get them there and they can hide behind the competition for setting up the business venture. Also I will bring the Falcon in earlier and make everyone suspect one of the five men as being involved with the Falcon (and by now everyone knows that is not true). I can build supsense that way and still keep the rivalry between Darcy and Blake. I will need to address some problems there too. Ah! Revisions, revisions, revisions. Somehow I will need to cut the story in size or put out three books. Too many pages now for only one.

I also want to take an English grammar class and a creative writing class. I will check to see if there is anything open for the Winter semester at the community college or Brevard College.

Well off to tag my chapter. I am anxious to see the reaction.
