and I STILL have 15 pages left to write on my upcoming chapter! I sometimes wonder if I was a slow-moving turtle in my last life!

Lol that is fast compared to me. I have about 24 out of about 100 down. Now I have to finish building begore moving on to the next part.
Also I added to my building Q thread, I did bump it, but it doesn't show as being the new post.

Yeah, that bumping doesn't make it show as new. It just brings it to the top so, hopefully, folks will notice it...lol. I'll go check it out. My slowness today is due partly to the fact that I was feeling crappy this morning, I'm tired now, and I MUST take breaks into to get into the role of 'becoming' a new character, or set of characters whenever I have a scene change...lol. If I can't feel what they are feeling, then it just doesn't come across as well.

Yes well your characters would be quite stressful. I do that a bit, with some of them, but I don't know that I am too good at it. Particularly with the teens and the males, I'm never sure how to write them. I sat and watched some teenage tv this morning so ah... 'chill out, K?'

I'm chillin'! I think you do a good job, Jo. It's not easy, sometimes, 'feeling' your characters. There are always some that are easier to write than others. It all depends on how well you can 'connect' to them. Sometimes the hardest part is giving a character a personality, and then remaining true to that personality. I think the fact that I watch a LOT of TV helps. I see lots of different character types and that's how I base how mine should act in a story. Now I have 11 pages to go!

LOL! I don't know if it will be up that soon. Tomorrow is football day! I may have it up pretty soon, though. I'm done writing for tonight. My brain is cloudy and my eyes are foggy, but if I am able to finish writing in the morning, all I have left to do is copy and paste everything here, since the photos are up on photobucket already.

Well, I have been working on this for.... a week and have 5-6 pages DONE! I also had a lot of building to do, so it slowed the process down. I was going to get more of the townies made over and reshoot a scene, but I decided it would take too long.
Hope to see this chapter in the next couple days Tina! i think I will do a quick reread of the last couple chapters to "catch up"

Hell, it's been SO long that I had to re-read the last chapter to remember where I left off and what happened during the course of the story so that I wouldn't end up repeating myself!
