Well, I'm over 500 words into Chapter 6. This chapter has to be at least 1000 words in order to qualify for the Dare. So I should be able to make it. I'm not entirely happy with the 500 words I've got, but I'm grateful to have just put something down for this chapter. Especially with the way I'm feeling today. I finally got a chance to talk with Mark about last night. And he was as supportive and wonderful as he could be on the phone. I just hope that he can get home early tonight so I can spend more than the usual half hour with him before I go to my writing group. I would just not go to group all together, but I have to miss next week's meeting for a chorus meeting. And I would hate to miss two weeks of critiques in a row. We'll see.
