Today I overslept! me - lol I rarely oversleep but then I am rarely up to 1:30 in the morning. The dinner and the card party went well and all us single women came - couple of widows and the rest divorced and one woman that has been married for 25 years but has never actually lived with her husband only visits for a couple of weeks at a time - maybe that is why it works. I know living with mine did not. lol
My story is quickly coming to a close. I have been convinced to add a few additional chapters instead of the telling paragraphs in the epilogue. In fact I am thinking of scraping the epilogue all together. I would just pick up where Chapter 50 ends.
Speaking of chapters - yikes my chapter 49B is over 8000 words. Heck combined with the 6000 words for 49A that is one long, long chapter. 14,000 words is a short story. lol When I revise the story I will have to find a way to shorten it by about 10 chapters and yet here I am adding another 10 (or so) chapters to the end. An epic.
I originally planned to write a 24 chapter book - that is all my outline said. 24 chapters.
Over the years I have become quieter. I used to talk a lot. a lot. But I grew tired of people walking away mid-sentence, so I became to hold back. I try to be more judicious with my conversations and have learned many years ago it was much more fun to watch the entertainment from the outskirts. So I have spent years observing and have learned much more than I had anticipated.
I find it interesting who is left out of conversations and what their reaction is. One friend grows very quite, another injects herself into the conversation. When men are added to the mix it is hilarious to watch. Men are such simple creatures, really they are. They are cavemen still. Food, drink, woman and of course that most important trait - competition.
Well, off to write another couple thousand words and I am afraid I will have to split chapter 49B. It seem to be taking a life of its own and I cannot stop. I must stop. Well, perhaps I should stop.
All day I shall remain in my sweats, drinking coffee, and talking aloud to my muse. A little music and a lot of time with "my men."
till tomorrow.

I hope it is okay to comment. Many parts of this comment of yours had me shaking my head and smiling. Glad your Eve went well. I fell asleep a 9pm woke a 1am and back to sleep at 3am only to arise at 1pm today. It has been a long very busy 2 months and last night I decide to stay home and not do the game night. :)
Now more important I feel and I'm sure many will agree there is no need to short your story I say go ahead add another 10 chapters hell add another 20. :D
